Abhishek Singhvi threatens to sue Nirmala Sitharaman over Nirav Modi charge

Threatening to file a civil and a criminal defamation against the allegations levelled against him in connection to Nirav Modi, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that no member of his family, including him, has any business interest with anyone or any businesses connected to Modi or Mehul Choksi.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, 17 February, Singhvi said, "Neither my wife, nor sons, nor I have anything whatsoever to do with Gitanjali or any of Nirav Modi's companies."

He was reacting to a statement issued by Defence Minister Sitharaman in which it was alleged



that Singhvi's wife and son held stocks in Fire Star Diamond, the company run by Nirav Modi.

Strongly condemning the accusation, Singhvi said that Nirav Modi's company was a tenant in a 20000 square feet property belonging to his family's company, Adwait Holdings, located in Parel in Mumbai.
