She told the court that Nirav had also threatened to kill a witness if he gave any statements against him.Explaining the modus operandi of the fraud, Malcolm told the court that on the pretext of buying material at a cheaper rate, like pearls for example, Nirav Modi borrowed from local banks in India."The bank guarantees required to get loans in the form of MOU's were signed off by corrupt bank officers of the PNB and the money secured in this manner was used to pay an earlier loan instead of buying raw material," she said."Each borrowing was paid off later by greater borrowing," Malcolm said adding that this is how Nirav Modi had built his empire on a "ponzi scheme".Malcolm also told the court that after his extradition, Nirav would be lodged in barrack 12 of Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai, Maharashtra.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
