A Special PMLA court in Mumbai said that fugitive Indian businessmen Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, and Mehul Choksi fled the country because the investigating agencies failed to arrest them at the proper time.
The court made these observations while hearing an application filed by a PMLA case accused Vyomesh Shah of amending his bail conditions in a case probed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED).
In an order dated May 29, Special PMLA judge MG Deshpande observed, "Ld. SPP Mr. Sunil Gonsalves vehemently argued that if such an application is allowed, it will give rise to situations like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, Mehul Chokshi, etc. I thoughtfully examined this argument and felt it necessary to note that all these persons fled because of the failure of the Investigating Agencies concerned in not arresting them at the proper time."
