New Delhi, Mar 1 (IBNS): Taking stricter action in the Punjab National Bank scam case,  the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday attached 41 properties worth Rs 12.17 billion belonging to Mehul Choksiof the Gitanjali Group  and his company.

Mehul Choksi is the uncle of billionaire diamond merchant Nirav Modi.

Modi's name has emerged in the PNB scam.

According to reports, the ED has attached several properties of  Choksi that include fifteen flats, 17 office premises in Mumbai, Hyderabad Gems SEZ in Andhra Pradesh, Shopping Mall in Kolkata, farmhouse in Alibaug and 231 acres of land in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

The move was made at a time when blue corner notice were issued against Nirav Modi and Choksi. 

On Feb 14, the CBI received complaints from PNB, which detected a Rs 11,292 crore fraud involving Modi.
Modi, who is in the centre of a huge storm, reportedly left the country in January, much before the scam came to light.

According to media reports, he is now in New York.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered two cases against Modi.
