New Delhi, Feb 25 : After fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi faced a setback on Thursday after a UK court ordered his extradition in connection with the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case, it became the second major order that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has managed to secure from the overseas court months after now defunct Kingfisher Airlines founder Vijay Mallya lost his appeal too.
According to CBI sources, in the Nirav Modi case which the agency registered in January 2018 the pressure was kept up in the court with all the evidence.
