The e-mail account of Rajiv Singh, Joint Director, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who was overseeing a probe into the near $2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam allegedly perpetrated by diamantaire Nirav Modi, has reportedly been hacked from Shimla.

Over the past one week, Network18 has been bringing you details of how the diamantaire had been travelling between Belgium and London on revoked Indian passports.

Senior official's computer has reportedly been seized and the state cyber-crime unit is probing the matter.

The unit is trying to ascertain whether any sensitive information was leaked.

Singh was prematurely repatriated to his home cadre of Tripura on May 25.
