Fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi's brother-in-law Maiank Mehta made his first appearance before the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai in a money laundering case.

Mehta along with his wife, in January, had pleaded before the court to become approvers in the case filed by the Enforcement Directorate against Nirav Modi and others in an alleged money laundering case. The court had accepted their plea for the same.
