In normal course, an audit by the RBI or co-operatives should reveal such irregularities. We are looking into this aspect as to how and why the audits did not reveal these things, he added.

In this case, the loans were not shown in the name of HDIL but were shown in the accounts of different names.

We are looking into why such disproportionate rise in the loans were not noticed by the regulators, he said.

"Police will not spare any independent auditors, cooperative auditors, RBI auditors. They all will have to explain what they saw, what they found and why they did not notice these things during audits," he said.
