Former MD of Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative (PMC) Bank Joy Thomas married his assistant in 2012 under Islamic rituals and went by the name Junaid Khan, it has been revealed. Investigating agencies have found documents that suggest he had several investments under that name as well as that of his second wife.

Sources revealed exclusively to this paper that Joy Thomas had married his assistant as per Islamic rituals, since he couldn't have married a second time per the Hindu Marriage Act without divorcing his first wife. The first wife filed for divorce six months ago, the final hearing for which is scheduled for later this month.
