Mumbai Court Denies Purvi Modi's Video Conference Request in PNB Fraud Case
A Mumbai court has denied Purvi Modi's request to record her statements via video conference in the 6,498-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case, requiring her physical presence for detailed questioning. Purvi Modi, sister of fugitive Nirav Modi and accused no. 31, had sought to appear remotely citing her residence in Belgium. The court agreed with the CBI, which argued she had not cooperated fully and emphasized the investigating officer's authority over the probe. Purvi has also applied to become an approver in the case.
