💨 Abstract

Fugitive Indian diamond tycoon Nirav Modi, accused of fraud at Punjab National Bank, had his bail request denied by a London court. Modi, who has been in custody since 2019, argues he fears for his life, but the court view he might flee or interfere with witnesses. His extradition to India was upheld, despite his lawyer's claims of "confidential legal reasons" preventing it.
