New Delhi: Absconding diamantaire Nirav Modi has refused to join the CBI investigation into the Rs 12,717 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case.
CBI officials said today that they’d contacted Modi through his official email address, asking him to be a part of the investigation. The jewellery merchant, however, replied in the negative with the explanation that he had business abroad that needed attending to.
The CBI again wrote a mail to Modi, directing him to join the investigation by next week mandatorily. The agency has asked him to contact the High Commission of the concerned country and also offered to make arrangements for his return to India.
