Jignesh Shah, founder of Financial Technologies which owns the scam-hit National Spot Exchange, will be questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police later in the day, reports CNBC-TV18.
The interrogation will be related to the fraud at the NSEL, in which around two dozen entities borrowed Rs 5600 crore using fake warehouse receipts. Also, the market was earlier anticipating Shah's resignation from MCX board as well.

Shah had already been questioned by the EOW earlier and his statement recorded. But that was before the fresh affidavit by the sacked ex-NSEL chief executive Anjani Sinha, in which he claimed that the NSEL board (which included Jignesh Shah) was aware of the brewing payment crisis at the bourse.
