Nirav Modi Can Be Extradited To India, Says UK Court | Read

Jeweller Nirav Modi, wanted for fraud and money laundering in the Rs. 14,000-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, can be extradited to India, a UK judge ruled today, dismissing arguments like his mental health worsening during the pandemic and Indian prison conditions. "I am satisfied that Nirav Modi's extradition to India is in compliance per human rights," District Judge Samuel Goozee said, adding that he had the right to appeal the order. "There is no evidence that if extradited Nirav Modi will not get justice," the judge said, agreeing with the submissions of the Indian government.
