The CBI on Friday arrested former ICICI Bank CEO and MD Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar in connection with alleged cheating and irregularities in loans sanctioned by the bank to Videocon Group companies, officials said.

They said the Kochhars were called to the agency headquarters and arrested after a brief questioning session.

The CBI has alleged that they were evasive in their responses and did not cooperate in the investigation.

The Kochhars will be produced before a special CBI court on Saturday.

They are likely to be kept in separate lockups on the ground floor of the 11-storeyed agency headquarters after their medical examination.

Sources said that agency is likely to move at a swift pace to file the first charge sheet in the case in which the Kochhars could be named along with Venugopal Dhoot of Videocon Group.
