A probe was initiated in the case to find out if alleged kickbacks were generated in the loan deal and laundered to create a tainted asset.

Former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ICICI Bank Chanda Kochhar and her family's assets worth over Rs 78 crore have been attached in connection with the Videocon loan case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Friday.

These assets comprise her flat in Mumbai and some other properties belonging to the company of her husband, Deepak Kocchar.
