Nirav Modi, who is sought by India, remains in the extradition process as UK officials face criticism over delays. Modi is wanted in India to stand trial on fraud and money laundering charges connected to the Punjab National Bank (PNB) loan scam, which is described in reporting as involving an estimated USD 2 billion. Two reports highlight a UK Member of Parliament who reacts strongly to the pace of the extradition, describing India as “demoralised” and saying India is “hugely angry” over the delay. The UK MP’s statements center on the impact of the extradition timeline on India’s expectations for Modi to be transferred to face trial. The reports also note that the UK official is associated with signing Modi’s extradition order, and the criticism is directed at how long the process takes to reach the next stages. Across the accounts, the core dispute is not the underlying allegations, but the length of time involved in executing the extradition order as Modi’s legal and procedural steps continue.
