Modi, who is accused in Punjab National Bank fraud case, has lost his bid to move UK Supreme Court against extradition to India. Political asylum request still pending with UK govt.
According to FIR registered by CBI, fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi allegedly pledged gemstones that were 'not real' while seeking a Rs 25 crore loan from IFCI.
The court was hearing an extradition appeal of Nirav Modi, who is wanted in India to face charges of fraud & money laundering in the estimated $ 2-billion PNB scam case.
Nirav Modi's extradition would be 'flagrant denial of justice' and should be blocked on mental health ground, say papers prepared by his lawyer for hearing in UK High Court Wednesday.
Indian officials in Delhi refused to confirm or deny whether a plane had been sent to Dominica where the 62-year-old Choksi was detained for illegal entry.
Former judge Abhay Thipsay has refuted BJP claim that Congress is trying to derail Nirav Modi’s extradition, saying govt may have ‘past grudges’ against him.
Since the bulk of citizens did not regard drinking as a crime, they had no respect for the prohibition laws and did not cooperate with the police, wrote MV Venkata Rao in 1962.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
