"Under Modiji's 'Jan-Dhan Loot Yojana', another scam! 390 crore, involving a Delhi-based jeweller. Same Modus operandi as Nirav Modi. Fake LOUs," wrote Gandhi in Twitter with hashtag #ModiRobsIndia.

On Thursday, the CBI registered a case against diamond jewellery exporting firm Dwarka Das Seth International for an alleged bank loan fraud to the tune of Rs 389.85 crore on the Oriental Bank of Commerce.
