Mumbai special court said businessmen engaged in multi-million dollar frauds like Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi, and Vijay Mallya were able to flee the country because investigation agencies failed to arrest them at the proper time. Special judge MG Deshpande's remark comes while hearing a plea of an accused booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) when he asked for a modification in his bail condition, reported PTI. 

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had argued that allowing Shah's application would give rise to situations like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and Mehul Choksi.
