ED & CBI meet to discuss Nirav case

Officials from the Enforcement Directorate ( ED) and CBI on Friday attended a multiagency meeting held by the ministry of external affairs to discuss the issue of revoked passports allegedly being used by fugitives, including Nirav Modi.

According to sources, the alleged use of revoked passport by the fugitive diamantaire was discussed at length in the meeting. Nirav Modi managed to travel across several countries even after information about his passport being revoked by the Indian government was flashed in the Interpol central database on February 24.

The CBI had tried to track the movements of Nirav Modi through a diffusion notice issued through the Interpol on February 15, but it had limited success as only the United Kingdom responded to the CBI request, sources said adding that the matter was discussed in the meeting.
