Following a two-year-long legal battle, the British government has approved the extradition of Nirav Modi, 50, who allegedly defrauded Indian state-run Punjab National Bank (PNB) of $2 billion. The extradition order was signed on April 15, a spokesman for the United Kingdom s Home Office said in a statement on Friday.
In February, a district judge ruled that Modi could be extradited to India, dismissing arguments such as his mental health worsening during the pandemic and the conditions of an Indian prison. I am satisfied that Nirav Modi s extradition to India is in compliance per human rights, District Judge Samuel Goozee said. The judge was satisfied that there was evidence that could lead to a conviction, but that case was a matter for the Indian courts.

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate is hopeful higher courts in UK will turn down fugitive Nirav Modi’s appeals against the order to extradite him, now ratified by the home department of that country.
The agency’s optimism stems from the fact that Nirav’s bail applications have been rejected, including by UK’s high court, at least seven times in the past two years. The diamond trader is the prime accused in the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank ‘letter of undertaking’ fraud.
In a similar case fought by India in the UK, the high court in London had last year rejected an appeal by Vijay Mallya, the fugitive economic offender and chairman of defunct Kingfisher Airlines, facing extradition on charges of money laundering to the tune of Rs 9,000 crore.
