I don't have money, look for jobs elsewhere, Mehul Choksi tells his staff

MUMBAI: Mehul Choksi, promoter of Gitanjali Gems, has told his employees through a mail to look for other employment opportunities as the company would be unable to clear their dues owing to multiple investigative agencies freezing the company's bank accounts and other properties. The letter also terms the multiple investigation against him and his companies 'unfair '

The letter, accessed by ET through his lawyer Sanjay Abbot, says the HR was being instructed to issue relieving letters and experience certificates to employees .

"It is very tough for me, as of now, to be clearing your dues or to pay your future salaries , in view of the seizing of various bank accounts and other properties by the government agencies ....in view of firstly no certainty about the payment of the salaries , no certainty about the payment of electricity and maintenance charges of the office to run the office, the unfair investigation conducted by the investigating agencies, I do not want anyone to suffer due to their connection/ association with me , so I request you all to look for other career opportunities elsewhere."
