Prominent business tycoons like Vijay Mallya have been part of major scams that shook the nation and cost the country a lot of money. Another name has been clubbed in with such tycoons and it’s the jeweller Nirav Modi.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, you must be pretty aware of the Nirav Modi case who swindled $1.77 billion, i.e. ₹11,400 crore from Punjab National Bank. The jeweller is currently on the verge of being sued by Priyanka Chopra and is allegedly grounded in the US, as his passport has been blocked.
But, would you believe me if I told you this scam has an uncanny resemblance to a book? Fiction is not very far from the truth and author Ravi Subramaniam has proved it with his book ‘In The Name Of God’.
Nirav Choksi … Yes, that is the name of the lead protagonist in my latest Thriller, IN THE NAME OF GOD … Here is the chapter where I introduce NIRAV CHOKSI….. Do I need to say more? Now if you want to read the book, here is the link : https://t.co/SZ9C2g3F5y pic.twitter.com/Y4s80R1AoF

The book has a main protagonist who is named Nirav Choksi. Now, this could be a co-incidence but Nirav Modi was also aided in his scam by his uncle Mehul Choksi. What’s more is that the book is also about a bank heist and the protagonist is a jeweller.
Ummm… Spooky!
Needless to say, netizens are freaking out over the resemblance and this could be the Indian ‘Simpson’ phenomenon.
1. You know it!
Are you citing co incidence? You know it's not .

2. Whoa!
When the news broke out the first thing came in my mind is the description you gave about Nirav in your book. I read your book, so aptly you have described him 👍🏻

4. That is a great point.
I hadn't read Ravi Subramanian's book, but clearly the author who has been a banker over 2 decades naming his character who was a fraud jeweler as Nirav Choksi, can't be coincidence!! @sidin @samitbasu @rashmibansal @AnantRangaswami @KanchanGupta @calamur #PNBFraud pic.twitter.com/NwlBLPXj62

6. Mind=Blown.
7. What is the truth?
As always, ahead of his time (the Aquarian way 😎) – @subramanianravi years ago had the lead protagonist in his thriller #IntheNameofGod be a celebrity jeweller named – wait for it – Nirav Choksi.
The same two jewellers presently reeling under the #PNBScam that has shocked India https://t.co/Oo9NAJTT8u

8. Did he?
@subramanianravi Nirav Modi and now Mehul Choksi implicated for fraud with the main protagonist being "Nirav Choksi". Did Ravi Subramanian just go Nostradamus on us, or did he know about all of this?

9. Dayummm!
@subramanianravi Your books are turning into a reality 😱 This freaks me out a bit 😂 Seems like banking is done #InTheNameOfGod afterall. Also, the characters are literally coming out of the books like anything 😂

10. The suspense is killing me!
Mother of Coincidence ?
Ravi Subramanian's book IN THE NAME OF GOD that released last year had a banking fraud story where the main fraudster was a powerful jewellery trader by the name – Nirav Choksi
The 2 main jewellers in the current #PNBFraudCase are Nirav Modi & Mehul Choksi pic.twitter.com/5W1UhPryg0— Rishi Bagree 🇮🇳 (@rishibagree) February 17, 2018
11. An apocalypse prediction?
Hahaha pretty uncanny! What next @subramanianravi https://t.co/PvJKFDikiq

When somebody commented that it can’t be a coincidence, the author tweeted this in response,
It probably is! @additiyom :)))) https://t.co/FkoAKxp3Nj

Although he’s claiming that it ‘probably’ is a coincidence, he’s quite vocal about the involvement of senior officials.
I am reasonably sure that the junior guys at PNB could not have done such a fraud without the connivance of seniors at the bank … highly unlikely … am sure there are biggies involved #NIRAVMODI #BANKINGFRAUD #PNBSCAM
— Ravi Subramanian (@subramanianravi) February 15, 2018
Regardless of whether he knew about it or not, this is some pretty epic shiz going down. BRB, gonna read the book now!
