The Mumbai police's economic offences wing (EOW) has searched the residence of New India Cooperative Bank's former chairman Hiren Bhanu in connection with the embezzlement of Rs 122 crore at the lender, officials said on Wednesday. During the search, EOW recovered several documents, which police are examining, an official said. The house search was conducted in the Malabar Hill area of south Mumbai, where Hiren Bhanu and his wife Gauri Bhanu stayed in a rented flat, an official said. Gauri previously held the position of vice chairman at the bank. The couple also own a flat at Nepean Sea Road which they have rented out, an official said. Both are wanted accused in the Rs 122-crore embezzlement case. The EOW team is identifying the couple's properties and also ascertaining whether they were acquired with the proceeds of the crime, he said. Meanwhile, the agency will conduct a lie detector test on Hitesh Mehta, former general manager and head of the accounts of the bank, on March 11
