The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday said that it has attached
properties worth Rs 25 crore of diamond jeweller Nirav Modi in
connection with its ongoing probe into the Rs 13,540 crore PNB fraud
case.
An ED official told IANS that the searches were carried out
on Thursday at Nirav Modi's palatial residence 'Samudra Mahal' in
Mumbai along with a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team.
The
official also said that the searches continued till Saturday morning
and resulted in the seizure of antique jewellery worth Rs 15 crore,
high-end watches valued at Rs 1.40 crore and paintings worth Rs 10 crore
that includes artworks by M.F. Hussain, K.K. Hebbar, Amrita Shergil.
The ED also attached a diamond ring valued at Rs 10 crore.
The
financial probe agency's action comes after it registered a separate
case against the diamond jeweller and his uncle Mehul Choksi of the
Gitanjali Group for defrauding the banks to the tune of Rs 13,540 crore.
Till
date, the ED has carried out searches at over 251 properties across the
country and seized diamond, gold, precious and semi precious stones,
pearls. The ED has also attached immovable properties belonging
to Nirav Modi Group and Mehul Choksi group to the tune of Rs 7,638
crore.
Choksi, Nirav Modi and his family fled in January around a
month before the PNB filed first complaint against them about the fraud
and they are still at large.
