Fraud Case: Amid hue of extradition from UK, Nirav Modi likely to appear on Mar
29 via video conference
Nirav Modi was arrested in
central London on March 19 after the Westminster Court issued a warrant against
him.
He was arrested from
Holborn metro station in London and produced before the court on March 20.
District Judge Marie Mallon, who presided over the hearing,
rejected Modi’s bail petition and noted “there are substantial grounds to
believe that you would fail to surrender before the Court if bail were to be
granted”.
He has been lodged in the Wandsworth prison in Southwest London
ever since.
On Mar 29, formal hearings in Nirav Modi’s extradition case
would begin.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), arguing the case for his
extradition to face the Indian justice system on behalf of the Indian Govt, had
strongly opposed bail because Modi had “deliberately evaded
justice” and not returned to India despite a series of
criminal summons issued by Indian courts.
