CBI also stated that they received the complaint from the bank almost a month later and Prompt action was taken by CBI as soon as the complaint was registered.
CBI received complaint against Nirav Modi&Mehul Choksi from PNB almost a month after they had left the country. Therefore the question of any CBI officer having any hand in their fleeing the country does not arise: CBI

Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday, accused a Joint Director of CBI in ‘helping’ Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi to flee from the country.
CBI Jt. Director, A K Sharma, weakened Mallya’s “Look Out” notice, allowing Mallya to escape.
Mr Sharma, a Gujarat cadre officer, is the PM’s blue-eyed-boy in the CBI.
The same officer was in charge of Nirav Modi & Mehul Choksi’s escape plans. Ooops…
