Probing agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) had named Ami Modi in a supplementary charge sheet for being the alleged beneficiary in the $30 million purchase of two apartments in New York City, in February this year.

 

These apartments were amongst the properties of Nirav Modi worth 637 crores that were seized in October, including a flat in London worth Rs. 56.97 crore.
