Evidence (2018-03-08): PNB Scam: Jewellers association had forewarned Raghuram Rajan New Delhi: In a dramatic twist in the ongoing PNB-Nirav Modi scam tale, it has now been revealed that the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association had forewarned the RBI governor of the time — Raghuram Rajan — of an epic swindle in the works as far back as July 26, 2014. [...] IBJA said that the RBI circular on May 21, 2014 had "sidestepped nationalised banks, which have been the backbone support of our bullion importing and jewellery exporting members, by allowing certain private sector export houses to import gold up to two tonnes at one time, even for those who are not in the business of bullion and gold jewellery". Further, the association also asked Dr Rajan to "make a prudent appraisal" of the decision and "check the loopholes before it was too late."

Evidence (2018-03-13): Rajan, who was RBI governor from 2013 to 2016, broke his silence on the scam after allegations were levelled against the 80:20 gold scheme rolled out in 2014. [...] In its letter, IBJA said that the RBI circular on May 21, 2014 had "sidestepped nationalised banks, which have been the backbone support of our bullion importing and jewellery exporting members by allowing certain private sector export houses to import gold up to two tonnes at one time, even for those who are not in the business of bullion and gold jewellery". Rajan also hit out at social media after a fake quote was attributed to him, which claimed that he had warned Congress President Rahul Gandhi and former finance minister P Chidambaram about Nirav Modi, and about financial irregularities at Punjab National Bank, during his tenure. "Social media has a habit of attributing complete rubbish to me," he said.

Evidence (2020-04-30): Also, the issue of major loan defaulters like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and Mehul Choksi didn’t arise in the conversation. Perhaps it’s because Rajan was the RBI governor and the Congress was in power when some of these loans were given out.

Evidence (2018-03-14): Rajan who was speaking for the first time since the scam was exposed on 14 February said the fraud was something completely off the book. While responding to a query on reports claiming he had warned Rahul Gandhi and former finance minister P Chidambaram about Nirav Modi and the financial irregularities at PNB, Rajan said, "You leave India but India never leaves you. Social media has a habit of attributing complete rubbish to me." [...] The comments from the former RBI governor about the Rs 13,600 crore Punjab National Bank come on a day when the central bank issued a press statement banning the practice of issuing letters of understanding or letters of credit. The PNB scam which was allegedly masterminded by billionaire diamantaire Nirav Modi, his maternal uncle Mehul Choksi of Gitajali Gems centres around these LoUs and LoCs. The accused duo had hired PNB employees at Brady House branch in South Mumbai to get unauthorised and unmonitored LoUs to commit the fraud.

The quote reads, "I had warned Rahul Gandhi and P Chidambaram about frauds of Nirav Modi. But they forced me to remain quiet and kept approving the loans till May 2014. Why am I being blamed for the PNB scam now?" Using reverse search or by searching with the keywords "Raghuram Rajan + Rahul Gandhi + Nirav Modi", we could not find any credible report validating the claim. Rather, we came across a news article by News 18 published on March 13, 2018, where Rajan had hit out at social media for a "fake quote". "Social media has a habit of attributing complete rubbish to me," Rajan said.

Evidence (2018-03-10): Former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan has rubbished a fake quote attributed to him that claimed he had warned Congress President Rahul Gandhi and former finance minister P Chidambaram about Nirav Modi and about financial irregularities at Punjab National Bank, during his tenure. [...] Several readers sent BOOM an image of Rajan that was circulating on WhatsApp, along with a quote that attributed the following statement to him - "I had warned Rahul Gandhi and P Chidambaram about frauds of Nirav Modi. But they forced me to remain quiet and kept approving the loans till May 2014. Why am I being blamed for the PNB scam now?." [...] Thirdly, Rahul Gandhi who was Vice President of the Congress party during Rajan's tenure never held any ministerial post during the UPA's rule between 2004 to 2014. It is unheard of for an RBI Governor to warn a party leader about any banking fraud. And even if he did, to eventually talk about it publicly would be adding fuel to fire.
