Nirav Modi Will Be Extradited After Legal Proceedings in U.K. Are Done: MEA
Priti Patel said the prolonged legal fight has frustrated both governments as Nirav Modi remains in custody over a $2 billion Punjab National Bank fraud case.
- Former Home Secretary Priti Patel expressed frustration that fugitive Nirav Modi remains in the United Kingdom, stating she was "appalled and horrified" by delays in his extradition to India for the $2 billion Punjab National Bank fraud case.
- Although Patel signed the extradition order in 2021 after courts established a prima facie case, Modi has remained in Pentonville prison while pursuing multiple legal appeals on human rights grounds and filing a confidential asylum claim.
- Indian authorities are "hugely angry" over the British government's inability to finalize the transfer, Patel claimed during a podcast revisiting the investigation. The PNB fraud remains one of India's largest financial scandals involving alleged money laundering and evidence tampering.
- India has resisted accepting failed asylum seekers and visa overstayers while high-profile extradition cases like Modi's remain unresolved, complicating bilateral migration discussions between India and the UK.
- Modi has reportedly exhausted his legal avenues in the UK and failed in a final appeal before the European Court of Human Rights, bringing his extradition closer to finality. Patel argued he should have already faced trial in India.
