Cobrapost, an online magazine, claims to have caught on camera what is describes as a massive expose, which allegedly proves that some of the largest private sector banks in the country help in money-laundering. The banks involved have denied the accusations.  

NDTV cannot verify the authenticity of the video footage, filmed largely on hidden camera,  and shared by  Cobrapost executives at a press conference in Delhi.

A press release by  Cobrapost describes its "expose" as  a " pan-India undercover investigation spanning several months, unearths a vast, nation-wide money laundering racket being run by HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank.  The brazen criminal activity by these banks is channelizing vast amounts of black money into the regular banking system as laundered white money."  

ICICI Bank said that it "conducts its business with the highest level of compliance," and that it has set up a committee to investigate the allegations, and expects a report within two weeks.  

HDFC bank told a  news channel  that the allegations are without any basis.

ICICI BANK's COMPLETE STATEMENT

"ICICI Group conducts its business with the highest level of compliance to legal and regulatory requirements.
 
All employees of the Group are trained and required to adhere strictly to the Group Code of Conduct, including AML and KYC norms. We have demonstrated our commitment to this by following a zero tolerance policy towards any violation.
 
We are deeply concerned with the media reports.
 
We want to assure our customers and all stakeholders that we are committed towards adherence to the high standards of business conduct, which is expected of us.
 
We have constituted a high level inquiry committee to investigate into the matter and submit its findings in 2 weeks."
