Sources told TOI that Nirav Modi flew in from New York towards the end of February — after the Rs 13,000 crore PNB scam had blown up and he was spotted at a luxury hotel in New York. Modi’s passport was revoked in February, but the golden visa was, apparently, issued a few years ago. Revocation of passport does not affect the validity of visa.
