PNB Scam: CBI court issues non-bailable warrant against Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi
Mumbai, Apr 8 (IBNS): Non-bailable warrants have been issued against billionaire jewellers Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi by a Mumbai court in connection with the Punjab National Bank scam, reports said.
The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mumbai issued by the warrant against the two businessmen.
Both the businessmen have repeatedly refused to join the probe into the scam, media reports said.
Mehul Choksi is the uncle of billionaire diamond merchant Nirav Modi and promoter of Gitanjali Gems.
Modi's name has emerged in the PNB scam.
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.
