On August 8, the CBI ACB Jaipur team raided the residence of Amit Goyal “Akki,” a steel businessman from Aligarh, in connection with a ₹55 crore bank loan embezzlement case involving Delhi Union Bank. Acting on a search warrant from a Delhi court, the team conducted a search at the house for about six hours. However, they did not find any significant documents and only seized some business papers. The businessman was not present during the raid. Both the businessman and his lawyer have labeled the action as illegal.
Originally from Agra, Amit Goyal, also known as Akki, lives with his family in Sai Vihar, Gururamdass Nagar, in the Bannadevi area. At 8:30 AM on August 8, an 11-member team led by CBI ACB ASP Sanjay Dubey arrived at their doorstep. For two hours, the family refused to open the door and insisted that Amit Goyal was not present. The team waited at the door and eventually communicated with Amit’s lawyer, Kanishk Sinha, who is based in Delhi. The team then presented the Delhi court-issued warrant to Amit’s wife and entered the premises.
The team remained at the house until around 4:30 PM, thoroughly searching every corner, safe, and cupboard, and interviewing family members separately. They brought along a note-counting machine but did not find any evidence or documents. They eventually took photocopies of Amit’s PAN card, Aadhar card, passport, and GST-related documents, which were recorded in their report. Media present at the scene attempted to speak with Amit, but he declined to comment.
According to the search warrant provided to the family by the CBI team, a case of embezzlement involving ₹55 crore from Union Bank is ongoing in a Delhi court against VS Metallic Pvt. Ltd. The investigation is being conducted by CBI ACB Jaipur. The search warrant issued by Delhi’s ACM Court on July 22 is valid until August 16 and names Amit Goyal as a defendant in the case.
