THE Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Nehal Modi, younger brother of Nirav Modi, the main accused in the $2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case, officials said on Friday (13).

They said the global arrest warrant against the Belgian national Nehal, 40, has been issued on charges of alleged money laundering that is being probed by India’s law enforcement and economic intelligence agency, Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Nehal Deepak Modi was born in Antwerp, Belgium on March 3, 1979, and he knows languages such as English, Gujarati, and Hindi, according to the RCN issued by the Interpol or international police.

In its RCN issued against a fugitive, the Interpol asks its 192 member countries to arrest or detain the person if spotted in their countries after which extradition or deportation proceedings can begin.

Nehal has been named in the charge sheet filed by the ED in this case and he has been charged with destruction of evidence and "knowingly and intentionally" assisted Nirav Modi in his alleged illegal acts.

The ED alleged that after the PNB fraud came to light, Nehal Modi along with Nirav Modi's close confidante and executive Mihir R Bhansali "took 50-kilogram gold and substantial cash from Dubai, and directed dummy directors not to reveal his name before authorities."

Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi are alleged to be the main perpetrators of India's biggest bank fraud case that came to the fore last year.

The case pertains to cheating the state-run PNB through fraudulent issuance of letters of undertaking and foreign letters of credit worth over Rs 130bn by Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.

While Nirav Modi is in jail in London and is contesting his extradition to India, Choksi is stated to be in Antigua

The Interpol has earlier issued RCNs against Nirav Modi, his sister Purvi Modi and Bhansali in the money laundering probe case.

India’s federal probe agency, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is also probing this bank fraud case.

Rooh: Within Her – A Dance Tribute Honouring the Soul of Womanhood

Rooh: Silent Strength in Dance

In a world that often measures heroism through dramatic acts and monumental moments, Rooh: Within Her presents a strikingly different narrative — one that celebrates quiet resilience, enduring strength, and the understated courage found in the everyday lives of women. Set to take place on Friday, 20 June at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham, this solo dance performance by acclaimed Kathak artist and choreographer Urja Desai Thakore promises an evocative and thought-provoking exploration of womanhood across time. Rooted in the classical Indian dance tradition yet deeply contemporary in its vision, the show captures the spirit of women who have shaped history in ways both visible and invisible.

The performance is an immersive journey through stories that span over two millennia, drawing inspiration from mythology, oral traditions, personal histories, and lived experiences. Rather than focusing on famous names or well-known figures, Thakore deliberately turns her attention to unsung heroines — women whose courage lies in persistence, nurturing, survival, and the ability to carry on in the face of adversity. From ancient civilisations to modern-day realities, Rooh: Within Her presents a dance tapestry woven with emotion, grace, and narrative depth.
