New Delhi, Jun 10 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday brought back from Hong Kong over 2,340 kg of polished diamonds, pearls, and silver jewellery valued at Rs 1,350 crore and owned by firms of fugitive diamantaires Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.

These entities are based in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Hong Kong.

The valuables were brought back from hong Kong to Mumbai in 108 consignments, including 32 belonging to entities controlled by Nirav and remaining to entities controlled by Choksi.

"Valuation and seizure formalities are in progress," the ED said.

These consignments had been sent to Hong Kong from Dubai in early 2018 and the officers of the Enforcement Directorate had received intelligence input about these valuables in July 2018.

The ED said that its officers were continuously engaged in discussion with various authorities in Hong Kong to bring these valuables back to India.

"Various modalities were finalised and after completing all the legal formalities, these consignments have now been brought back to India."

Earlier, the ED had successfully brought back 33 consignments of valuables from Dubai and Hong Kong in Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi case.

These valuables were evaluated on arrival and subsequently seized in India. Independent valuers assessed these earlier consignments to be worth around Rs 137 crore, the ED said.

    Since the BJP made 'Shining India' slogan their election tagline, the two maritial connection of crony capitalist linked to Adani and Ambani's are taking the nation to dark days.

    This came to light when Bank of Baroda rushed to report the ‘fraud’ in the wake of the Punjab National Bank crisis triggered by Nirav Modi. Modi’s brother in a happy coincidence, is married to Mukesh and Anil Ambani’s niece (daughter of their sister). And as if this is not enough, yet another link has emerged, this time between Jatin Mehta of the Rs 7000cr Winsome Diamond scam fame and Vinod Adani, whose daughter is married to Mehta’s son.

    The BJP's shining corrupt stars dont' stop here. In new case the firm Jyoti CNC, whose ventilators were developed in "10 days" and have proved ineffective on COVID patients, had as one of its promoters the business family that gifted Narendra Modi an expensive monogrammed suit in 2015.

    The Virani family runs the Karp Group, one of the biggest diamond merchants in the country with operations abroad.

    All the Guju diamond merchants who are shining the BJP's funds during election campaign now looted the banks in broad day light robbery under watchful eyes chowkidar.

    Jai hind!

    Dr, Kamath,

    Can you take a deep breath, and then rewrite what you want to say ?

    At the same time, please also keep in mind, that 14000 Crores : 1,350 crores is not even 10% of what NiMo and Choksey looted. Got it ?

    It's time now for BJP to enjoy the fruit of sending financial fugitives with full security, farewell party and paid air tickets. BJP's accounts will be swelling now multi fold. Nobody can question nor Modi will open his mouth on these matters. Any patriot asks questions regarding this anti national activities will be called traitor and asked to go to Pakistan.

    @ Jaswal

    Demo is the biggest loss India incurred on the excuse of retrieving Black money. What the nation spent on reprinting the currency is again an added expense. The result is same what was surrendered was retrieved - no even Rs. 100/- in BLACK !

    Not to mention what Modi spent on world tours and his wardrobe. Presently the nation is bearing the cost of Rs. 1.62 crores PER DAY to give security to the PM.

    Now count !

    Rs.1.62 crore what we spent on PM is very less. Now Shri Narendrabhai Modiji is global leader should be at least Rs. 5 crore per day. What's your suggestion Desh Bhakt.

    Oh yes, Jaswal, PM Modi suggested that graduates can work as Pakoda makers and should not consider it as a shame. You take up his advice and do it once you graduate from NITTE. Then, pay the taxes and after that think if its worth working and booting his security bill @ 5 Crores per day.
