evidence: ‘Sound decision’: UK high court rejects Nirav Modi appeal against extradition [...] NEW DELHI: The UK high court on Wednesday dismissed fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi’s appeal against his extradition, a development which brings Indian agencies one step closer to bringing him to India to face fraud and money laundering charges. [...] Nirav Modi’s original defence was that he won’t get a fair trial in India and that he was being targeted due to political reasons. He also cited the poor conditions of jails and argued that the evidence against him is weak. However, India has contended that there is strong evidence against him for fraud and money laundering.
