He has been detained for questioning, but did not divulge any details about his alleged role in the Nirav Modi-PNB case, said a CBI official.

The CBI on Monday detained Vipul Chitalia, the vice president of Gitanjali Group of Companies, as a part of its probe into the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud, an official said.

Mr. Chitalia was apprehended at Mumbai airport and brought to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office at the Bandra-Kurla Complex here for questioning, said the official, but did not divulge any other details about his alleged role in the PNB fraud.

The ₹12,636-crore fraud was allegedly perpetrated by billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, the promoter of Gitanjali Gems.
