Controversies
In April 2018, authorities issued a lookout circular (LOC) for Dhoot, Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar.[3] The LOC was issued due to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigations into irregularities concerning a Template:INRconvert loan made from ICICI Bank to Videocon Group[4] and the use of shell companies and a quid pro quo arrangement in the case of a Template:INRconvert loan by Dhoot of Videocon to NuPower Renewables,[5] a company which is owned by Deepak Kochhar.[3]
In January 2023 he was granted interim bail by the Bombay High Court on the grounds that his arrest was not in compliance with the law.[6]
