A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Thursday kept in abeyance the warrant issued against fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi’s sister Purvi Mehta and her husband Maiank Mehta till further orders. Non-bailable warrants were issued against Purvi and her husband in 2018 for their involvement in the USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case. Following that, both of them had filed an application before a Mumbai court seeking to become ‘approvers’ and depose as prosecution witnesses against Nirav Modi in the money laundering case.
