Mumbai: The family of Palakkad native Aniyath Sivaraman Nair, who has been linked to the multicrore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, says he hasn't gained anything illegally from the company of prime accused Nirav Modi's uncle Mehul Choksi.
Nair's wife told Manorama News that he had been working with Gili India Limited for several years. "He became a director of the company only a few years ago. However, Nair came to know about the alleged fraud only after the case emerged," his wife said.
She said Nair has only obeyed what the company asked him to do and hasn't committed any mistakes. He does not know how all this happened.
Nair, who had been working with Gili India for the past 27 years, has been living in a flat in Kalyan for seven years, after shifting from a humble abode elsewhere in Mumbai. The flat was purchased on loan money eight years ago. Documents related to it was handed over to officers from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) who raided the house.
The CBI charged 15 people, including Nair, on a complaint filed by PNB. He had traveled to Kerala before the case was registered, and hasn't returned to the flat in Kalyan since. At the same time, the other employees of Gili India, who were involved in the case, are suspected to have left the country.
