Times Now has revealed that the Karnataka High Court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Mehul Choksi in 2016 which the Karnataka government under Congress’ Siddharamaiah did not act upon.

Karnataka Congress has responded to the Times Now’s expose by tweeting in defence of their Chief Minister.
. @TimesNow should be ashamed of itself. PMO, FM & CBI slept & let a fugitive accused of robbing Rs. 11,500 cr of people’s money run away & you are going after people who bought jewellery from him, SHOs who did not execute warrants & landlords who had given their property on rent https://t.co/hhlJcKF46W

Times Now had reported on unaccounted transactions between Anita Singhvi, wife of Abhishek Manu Singhvi of Congress, and Nirav Modi worth crores. Karnataka Congress conveniently twists their report to portray the news channel of going after normal transactions between individuals.

Earlier, Nirmala Sitharaman had accused the wife of the Congress leader of leasing out property to Nirav Modi.
‘Congress promoted Gitanjali jewellers, gave a building on rent. But they blame us for all the wrongs’, says Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in press conference #UPAChoksiFiles

After Rahul Gandhi’s own party member accused him of attending Nirav Modi’s hotel event in 2013, the role of the Congress in the fraud is becoming more and more evident. Despite the attacks on the media by the party, they will still have to explain why the Siddaramaiah government did not arrest Mehul Choksi after a non-bailable warrant was issued against him by the Court.
