New Delhi. Fugitive Nirav Modi has now become a pauper after defrauding India’s well-known bank Punjab National Bank of Rs 13,540 crore. Let us tell you that at present he is present in the jail of Britain. Even in jail, he is managing his expenses by taking loans. It is being told that Nirav had to borrow money to pay a fine of 150,247 pounds (about Rs 1.47 crore). Nirav Modi, who scammed crores of rupees, is having such bad days that only 236 rupees are left in one of his accounts.
Let us tell you that according to the report that has come out regarding a bank account of Nirav Modi’s Firestar Diamond International Pvt Ltd, only Rs 236 is left. Kotak Mahindra Bank has transferred an amount of Rs 2.46 crore from this account to SBI as outstanding income tax. Along with this, Union Bank of India and Bank of Maharashtra have also been paid a part of the total dues.
Significantly, now the liquidator appointed for FIDPL has once again put forward a demand for release of money from the special court. In August 2021, in action under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, the court ordered the claimant Punjab National Bank to release the money through the liquidator appointed for FIDPL.
