Mumbai Court Denies Bail to Nirav Modi Associate Sandeep Mistry in PNB Scam Case
A special court in Mumbai denied bail to Sandeep Mistry, an associate of fugitive businessman Nirav Modi, in the Punjab National Bank scam case. The court cited Mistry's history of absconding for seven years and concerns over evidence tampering. Mistry was extradited from Dubai and arrested at Mumbai airport. The Central Bureau of Investigation alleged his involvement in managing Modi's dummy companies and participating in the fraud conspiracy, while the defense argued the investigation was complete and cited bail granted to other accused.
