Purvi Modi, sister of Nirav Modi who was wanted in the PNB scam, remitted over ₹17 crore from a bank in the United Kingdom to the Indian government on Thursday after she was pardoned from criminal proceedings in return for extending help in the PNB loan fraud case.
A Mumbai court in January granted ‘tender of pardon’ in the case to Purvi Modi and her husband Maiank Mehta as both were made approvers on the condition that they make full and true disclosure. Both Purvi and Maiank are British citizens and they never joined the probe.
The ED said that Purvi assured the agency that she would help it in confiscating assets worth ₹579 crore which included flats in New York, London and deposits in bank accounts in Switzerland.
