The Central Bureau of Investigation today sealed the Punjab National Bank’s Brady House branch in Mumbai from where transactions related to PNB scam were

carried out by jewellery designer Nirav Modi.

The branch was sealed a day after CBI took control of the entire campus of the branch for an intensive search operation. Punjab National Bank’s Brady Road

branch in Mumbai is at the centre of a colossal banking fraud involving Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.

The CBI’s move comes after the agency on Saturday arrested former PNB Deputy Manager Gokulnath Shetty, single window operator Manoj Kharat and

group’s authorised signatory Hemand Bhat.

The agency started questioning of five more officials, including general manager-level officers, taking the total number of those being quizzed to 11.

Meanwhile, Central Vigilance Commissioner KV Chowdhary will today meet PNB’s Chief Executive Officer Sunil Mehta and the Chief Vigilance Officer to seek

an explanation on the 11,360 crore rupees fraud involving jewellery designer Nirav Modi, his relative and business partner Mehul Choksi and others. The CVC

will also be meeting top-ranking officials of the CBI today.

The meeting in Delhi will also be attended by senior Finance Ministry officials and representatives of the Reserve Bank of India.
