Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday slammed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress, alleging that the parties are just passing the buck between themselves over the issue of multi-crore Nirav Modi-PNB fraud.

Kejriwal took to Twitter saying that the PNB scam began in 2011 and it is still on. “Congress is accusing BJP, and BJP is accusing Congress,” he said.

The Delhi Chief Minister in his tweet further said that, all the scams during party’s (Congress) tenure at the Centre are still operational. “BJP is earning out of these scam, while Congress earned through them earlier. That is why BJP has never jailed any Congress leader or member (translated from Hindi),” he said.

PNB scam 2011 में चालू हुआ, आज तक चल रहा है। भाजपा cong पर आरोप लगा रही है और cong भाजपा पर

सच ये है कि cong के समय के सारे घोटाले आज भी चल रहे हैं। पहले cong कमाती थी, अब उन्ही घोटालों से भाजपा कमाती है। इसीलिए आज तक भाजपा ने किसी भी घोटाले में एक भी cong वाले को जेल नहीं भेजा

Earlier on Friday, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal trained guns on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), asking the party to “give specific timelines by when will they bring Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi back to India”.

” BJP govt shud give specific timelines by when will they bring Vijay Mallya and Neerav Modi back to India. By when will the money be recovered from them?”, tweeted Kejriwal.

In a major breakthrough, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday arrested two key employees of the Punjab National Bank (PNB), along with an aide of diamond merchant Nirav Modi, in the Rs.11,400 crore bank scam, officials said.

The CBI arrested Gokulnath Shetty, the deputy manager at PNB, who is said to have played a key role in the scam, from his residence in Malad, Mumbai, along with Manoj Kharat, a SWO (single window operator) at the PNB.

Accusations against Nirav Modi

Diamond merchant Nirav Modi has been accused of a Rs 11,400 crore fraud by the Punjab National Bank (PNB).

On 14 February, PNB, the second largest public sector bank in India, detected a $1.8 billion fraud in its Brady House Branch, in south Mumbai.

The fraud, which includes money-laundering, concerns the Firestone Diamonds group in which the CBI last week booked billionaire diamond trader and designer Nirav Modi, his wife Ami, brother Nishal and maternal uncle Mehul Choksi.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday sealed billionaire jewellery designer Nirav Modi’s house, while Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple locations, in connection with a Rs 280 crore money laundering case against him and others, following a complaint by Punjab National Bank (PNB).

Earlier this year, the CBI had registered an offence against PNB officials, Nirav Modi and his family, while the ED had filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The CBI has booked Modi, his brother, wife and a business partner for allegedly cheating PNB of over Rs 280.70 crore in 2017.

ED has also carried out multiple raids on showrooms, workshops, offices and residences of Nirav Modi, Choksi. They have also seized diamonds, jewellery and gold worth Rs 5,100 crore.
