The 63-year-old fugitive is wanted in India in connection with a Rs 13,500-crore fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB).
Choksi not only reached out to Henry but also tried to influence Antigua magistrate Conliffe Clarke through illegal payments.
The account became NPA on February 26, 2018, and January 31, 2017, respectively with Canara Bank and Bank of Maharashtra.
Slamming the central agency, Choksi's Advocate said that the financial institution should have carried valuation immediately after default.
According to investigating officials, Modi had left India on January 1, 2018, much before the CBI received a complaint from Punjab National Bank (PNB) on January 29, 2018, about the fraud.
Soon a joint team of the ED and the CBI would travel to the UK to apprise the lawyers about the Indian case and evidence against Modi, ED sources said.
Nirav Modi is wanted in the Rs 13,500 crore PNB fraud case, and he has an Interpol Red Corner Notice against him; in a video report, UK's The Telegraph newspaper has claimed that the absconding billionaire has been living in London
The report stated that Nirav Modi against whom a Red Corner Notice has been issued by the Interpol has been living in the city’s West End area and has even started a new diamond business.
Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi are under probe by both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED in the Rs 14,000 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case.
