Who is Nehal Modi? Nirav Modi's brother arrested in PNB fraud case
Nehal Modi , the younger brother of fugitive businessman Nirav Modi , was arrested in the United States on July 4, following an extradition request by Indian authorities. His arrest, confirmed by the U.S. Department of Justice, came after a joint requisition by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He faces two primary charges: money laundering under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Nehal is a key accused in the Rs 13,000 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam—one of the biggest financial frauds in India's history.

His network allegedly obtained fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) from PNB to divert nearly Rs 6,498 crore, while Choksi used a similar modus operandi for the rest of the scam. Authorities say Nehal Modi assisted Nirav after the scam was exposed, including attempts to destroy evidence and intimidate directors of Dubai-based shell companies used to mask illegal trade. Live Events The ED alleges that Nehal, along with Mihir R. Bhansali (a close aide of Nirav Modi), transported around 50 kg of gold and large sums of cash from Dubai. He also instructed dummy directors to conceal his name during questioning by Indian authorities. Listed as Accused No. 27 in the CBI's supplementary chargesheet, Nehal is alleged to have orchestrated the destruction of electronic data and servers after relocating employees from Dubai to Cairo. These individuals reportedly signed false declarations of ownership for companies in Dubai and Hong Kong. These shell firms purportedly engaged in fake trade with Nirav Modi's entities—Diamonds R Us, Solar Exports, and Stellar Diamonds. These companies secured illegitimate buyer's credit from foreign banks using fake LoUs issued by PNB's Brady House branch in Mumbai. What's Next A status conference is scheduled for July 17, 2025, in the U.S. While Nehal Modi may seek bail, American prosecutors have expressed their intent to oppose his release.

India, Maldives hold talks to deepen trade and investment ties
India and the Maldives discussed ways to explore new opportunities for economic cooperation and trade enhancement, state-run media said on Saturday (July 5, 2025). The discussion for strengthening trade was held during a meeting between India's Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal and Maldivian Economic Development and Trade Minister Mohamed Saeed in Male on Friday. The meeting, held at the Maldivian Economic Ministry as part of Mr. Barthwal's visit, focused on exploring new areas of economic collaboration and strengthening existing trade ties, according to Public Service Media (PSM News), the state-run media. After the meeting, Mr. Saeed said in a post on X: 'Had a productive meeting today with India's Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal. We discussed strengthening trade and investment partnerships between our nations and exploring new opportunities for economic cooperation.' The Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in a post on X, said Barthwal had 'a constructive' meeting with Mr. Saeed, 'focusing on enhancing trade and investment ties and exploring new avenues for economic cooperation between the two countries.' As part of recent efforts to attract Indian investment, business forums were organised in three Indian cities to promote opportunities in the Maldives, the PSM News said. India continues to be a key development partner for the Maldives, contributing to several infrastructure and capacity-building projects, it added. New Delhi has also extended a $25.94 million currency swap facility to support the archipelagic nation's economy. Earlier on May 26, India and Maldives explored ways to boost trade and strategic cooperation during a three-day visit by Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdulla Khaleel, accompanied by a high-level delegation to New Delhi to review the implementation of the comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership. It was agreed during Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu's trip to New Delhi last October. The ties between India and the Maldives came under severe strain after Mr. Muizzu, known for his pro-China leanings, took charge of the top office in November 2023. Within hours of his oath, he had demanded the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from his country. Subsequently, the Indian military personnel were replaced by civilians on a mutually agreed date. There was a thaw in the relations as Muizzu vowed to boost the bilateral ties with India during his visit to Delhi in October 2024. Maldives is India's key maritime neighbour and an important partner in India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy and Vision MAHASAGAR that is Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions.

India allocates additional ₹10,000 crore to support deep tech sector
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said the government has provided an additional Rs 10,000 crore as part of the Fund of Funds scheme to further support and promote deep tech research and startups. 'Having now committed the entire first tranche of Fund of Funds of Rs 10,000 crore in the last Budget, another Rs 10,000 crore has been provided,' Goyal said at an event organised by IIT Madras and the institute's alumni association in Bengaluru. 'This time around, it's largely going to support the deep tech ecosystem. We are just formulating the guidelines and the full money goes to promote innovation, absorption of newer technologies and the deployment of newer tech in contemporary fields,' he added. The government announced in its Budget in February of setting up such a fund to catalyse the next generation startups as a part of this initiative. There were also some concerns that the private sector's expenditure on research and development (R&D) remained low despite a lot of incentives provided. Goyal has repeatedly advocated Indian entrepreneurs to pivot from being the back office of the world to a leader in technology and innovation. His comments come at a time when India's Startup Policy Forum has launched #100DesiDeepTechs, a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at identifying and supporting 100 leading deep-tech startups in India. Developed in collaboration with Startup India (DPIIT), MEITY Startup Hub, and IIT Madras, the programme seeks to strengthen policy dialogue and advance India's deep-tech ecosystem. The initiative is accepting applications from Indian deep-tech startups. Selected participants will join closed-door policy discussions with industry and government stakeholders, leading to a white paper with regulatory recommendations. Focus areas include semiconductors, defence, quantum tech, green hydrogen, space, drones, EVs, biotech, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and communications. A Mentor Board consisting of founders, investors, policymakers, and experts will advise the #100DesiDeepTechs cohort, providing strategic guidance and access to networks. A white paper will be released at 'Deeptech Baithak', a forum of founders, investors, and policymakers. The event will also mark the launch of SPF's Centre for deep-tech policy research, which will support ongoing policy efforts. The deep-tech sector saw a huge surge in funding in 2024, up 78 per cent to $1.6 billion, compared to a year earlier. This was fuelled by supportive government policies, rapid advancements in Gen AI and innovations from emerging companies, according to a report by Nassscom and Zinnov. Goyal explained that India was not hesitant to use new age technology. 'It helps us to climb the growth chart and buck the trend in a slowing global trade environment.'
