Will Mehul Choksi's bid to cut Netflix's ‘Bad Boy Billionaires' scenes open door to OTT censorship?

HC seeks response from central government and the streaming platform on a plea by the PNB scam accused on dismissal by lower court.

PNB scam: Nirav Modi threatened to kill company's director, CBI tells court

The CBI told that Modi threatened to kill one of the directors, Ashish Mohanbhai Lad if he express a desire to return to India from Cairo.

Nirav has been in custody at Wandsworth prison in south-west London, one of England's most overcrowded prisons, since his arrest in March.

Choksi, the promoter of Gitanjali Gems, and his nephew Nirav Modi are accused in the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case.

The absconding diamantaire made the claim in a plea filed before the special judge for Prevention of Money Laundering Act cases, VC Barde.

The diamantaire also requested the court to allow him to appear before it via video conferencing until he was fit to travel.

Speaking to ANI, Browne had said that Indian authorities have the 'right' to come to Antigua and Barbuda to interrogate him.

Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi, who both fled the country a year ago, are key accused in the USD 2 billion PNB fraud case.

In June, Choksi claimed that he had left India for medical treatment and not to avoid prosecution in the case.

Choksi contended that the ED plea should have been accompanied by an affidavit revealing all contents but there was no such affidavit.
