LONDON: Billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi, accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank of more than $1 billion, has lodged an appeal in the high court in London against extradition to India.
On April 15, 2021, UK home secretary Priti Patel had ordered the extradition to India of the 50-year-old diamantaire who has been lodged at Wandsworth prison in London since his arrest in London on March 19, 2019.
India wants to extradite Nirav to prosecute him for defrauding PNB of Rs 6,498 crore plus interest, of laundering the proceeds of that fraud, and for interfering with the CBI investigation into the fraud by causing the disappearance of evidence and intimidating witnesses, including threatening to kill one. Nirav denies all the charges.
