New Delhi: The CBI is all set to inform the competent court about the non-cooperation of the accused, jewellers Nirav Modi and Mehul
Choksi, in the ongoing investigation being carried out by the agency in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case. The CBI, sources said, may seek issuance of warrants against the accused by the court.
Sources said, “Despite repeated reminders by the central investigative agencies, including CBI, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi have refused to join the probe. The CBI is now preparing to approach the court for issuing warrants against the duo”.
It may be recalled that Choksi recently refused to join a CBI probe in the multi-crore PNB scam and claimed that “untenable” allegations had resulted in sudden closure of his business and exposed him and his family to “threats” from former associates. In his latest letter to the CBI dated March 16,
Choksi also mentioned his medical condition, suspended passport and media trial.
