Earlier on Saturday, the CBI had arrested three people, including PNB’s former deputy manager Gokulnath Shetty, the bank’s single-window operator Manoj Kharat, and Hemant Bhat, authorised signatory for Nirav Modi’s firms.

A special court remanded all the three accused to 14 days’ CBI custody.

According to the source, the accused were taking commission, which was a fixed percentage on every LoU, for unauthorised access and swift password to the Modi firms.

The investigative agency conducted searches at PNB's Brady House branch in Mumbai. The branch has been sealed today with no one allowed to enter the premises.

Nirav Modi allegedly acquired fraudulent letters of undertaking (LOU) from a PNB branch in Mumbai to secure overseas credit from other Indian lenders.
