MUMBAI â Fresh legal troubles are brewing in Mumbai for fugitive diamantaire Nirav D. Modi, currently battling for bail and against extradition proceedings in a U.K. court, officials said here May 13.
A special court, under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018, has served a series of notices to Modi and his sister Purvi Mehta â who turned approver five months ago â besides his group companies, ordering them to appear before Special Judge V.C. Barde in Mumbai June 11.
Barde has also ordered them to explain why the special court should not confiscate the properties and assets of the two siblings and the other group companies as per the law in a money-laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in early 2018.

The Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the United Kingdom on Thursday ordered that fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi can be extradited to India to face trial, ANI reported.
Modi is accused of duping the Punjab National Bank of more than Rs 13,000 crore. He was arrested on March 19, 2019, and has been lodged in London’s Wandsworth jail.
“I am satisfied that Nirav Modi’s extradition to India is in compliance per human rights,” District Judge Samuel Goozee said, adding that the businessman had the right to appeal the order, according to NDTV. “There is no evidence that if extradited Nirav Modi will not get justice.”
