A special Fugitive Economic Offenders Act court in Mumbai today issued public summons to the sister and brother of absconding diamond merchant, Nirav Modi, the main accused in the 2 billion dollar bank fraud case.

They have been asked to appear before it on the 25th of next month. The Court said that if they fail to appear, their assets will be confiscated under the newly enacted Act aimed at curbing big-ticket economic crimes.

The two have been charged by the ED to have indulged in money laundering and subsequently, escaping from India as the alleged scam came to light.
