10 bank employees were suspended, but it is not clear whether anybody from the crucial PNB Credit Approval Committee or its Board of Directors figure among them. It is learnt that Modi – whose operations are spread across Europe, the US, Middle East, and the Far East besides India – has written to PNB and other banks that he would return their outstanding.
