The CBI also conducted raids at the offices of Nirav Modi group companies in Mumbai, while the searches at PNB's Brady house branch where 11,300 crore rupees fraud took place have concluded.
The government has written to the Reserve Bank of India flagging doubts over supervisory lapses in the PNB scam.
In a letter, the Finance Ministry asked how did the fraud go undetected despite RBI's checks-and-balances in place. It said the current system in place needs to be checked for efficiency.
