New Delhi: Subhash Shankar Parab, a close aide of fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi, was brought to India from Cairo today morning and arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Parab was the deputy general manager (finance) in Firestar Diamond. Parab, who was allegedly hiding in Cairo, landed in Mumbai early today after ‘deportation’.
Quoting officials, reports said he was absconding ever since the case involving diamantaire Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi came to light. In 2018, Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice against Nirav, his brother Nishal Modi and his employee Subhash Shankar Parab on the request of the CBI, probing over USD 2 billion PNB scam.
A senior officer said Parab, who directly reported to Modi, was brought to Mumbai and put under arrest upon his arrival. He will be produced before a Mumbai court to be taken into custody.
