Nirav Modi
According to Pandora papers, Nirav Modi's sister had opened a firm in the British Virgin Islands just a month before her brother fled India in January 2018.
Earlier this year a court in Mumbai had allowed Nirav's sister Purvi Modi to turn approver in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case.

Purvi had reportedly intended the firm to act as a corporate protector of a trust formed through the Trident Trust Company based in Singapore.
Reports claim a firm named Brookton Management Ltd was set up which apparently acted as corporate protector in December 2017 exactly a month before Nirav Modi slipped out of India.

India's Enforcement Directorate had registered a case against Purvi Modi who is a Belgian national. The judge had asked Purvi Modi to present herself in court. Purvi Modi had claimed in court that she was not a prime accused in the PNB case andvowed to coperate with ED's ongoing investigation.
Nirav Modi's sister in her plea had said she was ready to present "substantial and important evidence" linked to her brother Nirav Modi in the PNB scam.
Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice against Purvi Modi earlier after a request was moved by the Enforcement Directorate charging her of money laundering.
Purvi's application for grant of pardon was allowed by the court under Sections 306 and 307 of the CrPC on the condiction that she makes a full discloure of the case while granting her the status of an approver in the case.
