After registering the case, CBI searched Anil Ambani's residence and RCOM offices and found documents related to loan transactions with Bank of Baroda. Earlier, CBI had already registered a case against RCOM based on a complaint by State Bank of India (SBI), which is leading a group of 11 banks. Bank of Baroda was not included in this group. The current case is different, as it involves loans taken from Bank of Baroda along with Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank, which are now merged with Bank of Baroda. The Bank of Baroda has claimed that it incurred a loss of over Rs 2,220 crores because loans taken by RCOM were allegedly diverted and misused through fake transactions with related parties. RCOM's books of accounts were also allegedly manipulated to hide these irregularities.
