NewzA special CBI court in India has rejected a plea by Mihir Bhansali, a close aide of fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, to cancel a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against him. The ruling comes after seven years of continuous absence and evasion of the legal process in connection with the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.
Special Judge Subhash K Karhale presided over the matter and explicitly observed that Bhansali had deliberately remained outside India to avoid facing the ongoing judicial proceedings. The court's decision underscores the judiciary's strict stance on key suspects maintaining prolonged absences from the country while facing major financial fraud allegations.
