NSE sought clarification from RBL Bank regarding a media report claiming ₹137 crore was diverted to China through mule accounts at the Bank's Kisan Nagar branch in Karimnagar, Telangana. The Bank confirmed awareness of FIR Nos. 68/2026 to 78/2026 registered by the Karimnagar-III Town Police under sections of BNS and the IT Act. Two branch employees have been taken into custody and granted bail. The matter is sub judice and under police investigation. The Bank stated it has no knowledge of or sanction for any alleged wrongful acts, and does not anticipate any material financial or operational impact. It argued the matter does not warrant disclosure under SEBI Regulation 30.
The stock may face selling pressure and reputational risk given the criminal investigation and employee arrests, though the Bank has downplayed the financial impact. The matter remains sub judice, keeping uncertainty elevated.
