As the CBI arrested a Delhi-based jeweller for an alleged bank loan fraud, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Saturday fired fresh salvo at Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of looking the “other way” while the alleged scam took place.
In a tweet, the Gandhi scion said: “Under Modi Ji’s “Jan Dhan Loot Yojana”, another scam! 390 Cr., involving a Delhi based jeweller. Same Modus operandi as Nirav Modi. Fake LOU’s.”
“Predictably, like Mallya and Nirav, this promoter too has disappeared while the Govt looked the other way,” he said.

Delhi-based diamond jewellery exporter Dwarka Das Seth International was on Thursday booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for an alleged bank loan fraud to the tune of Rs.389.85 crore towards the Oriental Bank of Commerce.
The CBI filed two more cases of financial fraud involving a businessman and a public servant on complaints by three different banks earlier this week.
Earlier, cases of major financial frauds worth Rs 11,300 crore by diamantaire Nirav Modi and by Rotomac owner Vikram Kothari have surfaced, in which the CBI has filed cases and effected several arrests.
Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal, Earlier in the day, slammed the Prime Minister’s silence on major banking scams unearthed in the country over the last few days and termed Narendra Modi the “most expensive chowkidar” in the world.’
“Modiji used to give a statement everyday against the Congress when a (2G) scam worth Rs 1.76 lakh crore was alleged during the UPA regime.
“That was a presumptive loss. Later, the court said there was no scam at all,” Sibal said while briefing the media here.
