The ED had filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after going through a CBI FIR registered early this month. Modi (46), who had figured in the Forbes' list of richest Indians, was booked by the CBI for cheating after PNB sent a complaint to it alleging that the jewellery firm owner, his brother, wife and Choksi entered into a criminal conspiracy with the officials of the bank and cheated it, causing a "wrongful loss". The agency, they said, would probe if the allegedly defrauded bank funds were laundered and these proceeds of crime were subsequently used by the accused to create illegal assets and black money.

Taking to Twitter, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala raised questions on whether this was the “new Modiscam.” “Who is Nirav Modi? The New Modiscam? Was he tipped off like Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya to escape by someone within the government? Has it become the norm for letting people run away with public money? Who is responsible?” Surjewala tweeted. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, saying, “Is it possible to believe that he or Vijay Mallya left the country without active connivance of the BJP government?” Concerns were also raised by CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury who also took to Twitter and said that “If this person had fled India before the FIR on January 31, then he is here photographed at Davos with the PM, a week before the FIR, after having escaped from India? Modi government must clarify.” State-run Punjab National Bank (PNB) said on Wednesday it had detected some "fraudulent and unauthorised" transactions worth about $1.77 billion (Rs 11,360 crore approx) at one of its branches in Mumbai. The bank said in a regulatory filing the transactions were "for the benefit of a few select account holders with their apparent connivance" and that "based on these transactions other banks appear to have advanced money to these customers abroad." BJP leader Krishan Pal Gurjar, however, hit back saying that this was in fact the corruption of UPA government that the country was facing today. “Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi both will have to come back,” he said. Nirav Modi, the prime accused in the Rs 11,360 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud, has left the country. Sources have told CNN-News18 that two PNB bank officials, retired deputy manager Gokulnath Shetty and SWO Manoj Hanumant Kharat, were the first to be detected as working with Nirav Modi. The duo has been named in the FIR. About 10 more employees of the national bank have also come under the scanner of the enforcement directorate.

Nirav Modi, accused of swindling $1.8 billion, was with Narendra Modi at Davos Sriram Iyer 5 hours ago Quartz India Nirav Modi, accused of pulling off possibly India’s biggest bank fraud, was posing for pictures with prime minister Narendra Modi just a few weeks ago. The billionaire diamond merchant was part of the delegation of Indian businessmen and corporate leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month. Here is a group photo from Jan. 23, of the prime minister, some of his key bureaucrats, and Indian CEOs, including Nirav Modi (in red circle) at the world’s biggest capitalist conclave in Switzerland: PNB-Nirav-Modi-Fraud Nirav Modi at Davos. (PIB) He was also part of the 2016 delegation to Davos led by finance minister Arun Jaitley. On Wednesday (Feb. 14), Punjab National Bank (PNB), the country’s second-largest state-owned lender, informed stock exchanges that it had detected a massive $1.77 billion fraud at one of its branches in Mumbai. The Central Bureau of Investigation, India’s main investigative agency, first filed a case in this regard on Jan. 31. On Thursday (Feb. 15), the enforcement directorate, a specialised financial crime investigation agency, reportedly raided at least 10 properties owned by Nirav Modi. In the picture above, Nirav Modi is seen standing next to Rajnish Kumar, chairman of India’s largest state-owned lender, State Bank of India (SBI), which also gave a loan to the diamond merchant based on PNB’s guarantee This is the second case of a massive alleged fraud to explode during the tenure of the Modi government. In February 2016, another billionaire Vijay Mallya, who was also a member of parliament, was accused of laundering money away from Indian state-owned banks, leaving them with unpaid dues of about Rs9,000 crore. Mallya managed to escape to the UK before Indian law enforcement agencies could nab him. If Nirav Modi has indeed fled India as news reports suggest, there will be a lot for the Modi government to explain—again.
