After holding out for so long, and mounting a spirited defence, including insisting there was no malintent or conflict of interest, Chanda Kochhar has quit with immediate effect. Does this negate her earlier protestations of innocence?

I don’t know exactly and I am not qualified to say that. It is like the Securities and Exchange Board of India has a system of when some investigation is on, you come back and you settle it, sort of you pay a penalty, and that does not necessarily mean you are guilty.

Then things changed for whatever reasons and a new committee was formed with a retired Supreme Court judge going into all those things.

Canada Goose Outlet I think that was canada goose jacket outlet uk the beginning of (the end). It was a foregone conclusion that she would have to go. Canada Goose Outlet
