PNB scam: Met Dinesh Dubey only once, says ex-financial services secy Takru

Takru said he had met Dubey when the latter had offered to resign as director in Allahabad Bank

Former financial services secretary Rajiv Takru said he had met Dinesh Dubey only once and the latter did not raise any issue related to the loans given to Nirav Modi’s uncle, Mehul Choksi’s Gitanjali Gems. Choksi is among those accused in the Rs 110 billion fraud at Punjab National Bank (PNB).

Dubey, a former independent director of Allahabad Bank, had claimed that in 2013, he had sent a dissent note to the then government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) against the decision to provide loans to Gitanjali Gems.

These loans were given on Letters of Understanding (LoUs) issued
