Nirav Modi To Be Extradited To India, Loses Appeal In UK Court

Nirav Modi, 51, had appealed against being sent back to India to face trial in the massive fraud case linked to Punjab National Bank, or PNB.

Nirav Modi, the diamond businessman from Gujarat who fled India after allegedly cheating a government bank of over Rs 11,000 crore, is a step closer to being extradited to India from the UK.

Mr Modi, 51, had appealed against being sent back to India to face trial in the massive fraud case linked to Punjab National Bank, or PNB.

He lost the appeal in the London High Court today. Lord Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith and Justice Robert Jay, who heard the appeal earlier this year, delivered the verdict that allowed the fugitive businessman's extradition to India.
