"On February 20, I received an e-mail from passport office which said my passport has been suspended due to reasons of security threat to India," he said.
The Rs 14,000 crore PNB-fraud accused said that he then sent an e-mail to the regional passport office in Mumbai requesting to revoke the suspension of passport, to which the authorities did not reply or clarify how he was a security threat to the country.
The alleged scam pertains to cheating the state-run PNB through fraudulent issuance of Letters of Undertaking and Foreign Letters of Credit worth over $2 billion (about Rs 14,000 crore) by jewellers Nirav Modi and his uncle Choksi, who have both been absconding since January.
