Nirav Modi has bail refused for 7th time despite having spent 5 years in jail
Tuesday, 7 May 2024 Indian fugitive Nirav Modi had bail refused for the seventh time at Westminster magistrates’ court on Tuesday despite claiming he would never want to abscond Britain as, if he did, he could be tracked down by Indian secret service agents who, he claimed, had targeted people in the US and Canada. Nirav has been in jail since his arrest in London in March 2019 on an extradition warrant to face trial in India for defrauding Punjab National Bank (PNB) of over $1 billion (a little over Rs 8,344 crore now) as well as interfering with witnesses and evidence.
Fugitive diamond tycoon Mehul Choksi, accused in India’s ₹13,500-crore PNB fraud case, has been arrested in Belgium following India’s extradition request. Choksi, previously residing in Antigua, allegedly used forged documents to gain Belgian residency. Sources reveal he planned to flee to Switzerland under the guise of medical treatment. His arrest marks a major breakthrough for Indian agencies amid a long-standing extradition battle. The case is now under process as India seeks his return for prosecution. His nephew, Nirav Modi, remains jailed in the UK, also facing extradition.
