The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday filed a prosecution complaint (charge sheet) against absconding diamantaire Mehul Choksi and his wife in the ₹13,578-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.
This is the third charge sheet filed by the Central agency but the first one that names Choksi's wife Priti Pradyotkumar Kothari which was submitted before a special court in Mumbai.
The complaint also names Choksi, his three companies — Gitanjali Gems Limited, Gili India Limited and Nakshatra Brand Limited. It names Gokulnath Shetty, retired deputy manager of the PNB, for issuance of fraudulent letters of understanding (LoUs).
