INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
RBI is undertaking a detailed probe into the PNB case
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has declined
to share inspection reports for scam-hit Punjab National Bank (PNB), citing RTI clauses that bar disclosure of details which may impede the
investigation process or prosecution of offenders among other reasons
Replying to an RTI query, the central bank also said it does not have "specific information" on what resulted in detection of over Rs 13,000
crore scam at PNB and directed the application to the state-run bank for providing those details
The scam, considered to be the biggest ever fraud in India's history, came to light earlier this year
PNB was allegedly defrauded by diamantaire Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, the promoter of Gitanjali Gems
