Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Mehul Choksi, an accused in the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank fraud.
The CBI had earlier secured an Interpol Red Notice against Choksi’s nephew Nirav Modi but the world police body had kept its decision pending on Choksi as he had challenged the issuance of such an order.
After seeking additional information from the CBI, the Interpol had initiated proceedings against Choksi and has now issued a Red Notice against him.
Both Modi and Choksi left India in the first week of January and have not returned despite repeated summons from the investigation agencies and courts.
Nirav is said to be in London and Choksi in Caribbean country Antigua and Barbuda and India has sent formal requests to both seeking their extradition.
