Apparently , Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and many others carried out the offence of cheating against Punjab National Bank in collusion with certain bank officials by fraudulently obtaining the LOUs issued while not following prescribed procedure and caused a illegitimate loss to the bank.

Several properties in India and abroad worth 1,725.36 crore were also attached earlier. In addition, gold, diamond, bullions, jewellery and other valuables worth Rs 489.75 crore belonging to Nirav Modi Group were also seized.
