According to the CBI, the UK Home Minister has given the green signal to the extradition of fugitive diamond trader Modi. The special thing is that India got success after a long trial in a UK court. Modi, who was going to London and sitting in the Punjab National Bank with a loss of about 12 thousand crore rupees, was busy trying to avoid this step in the court there. It is a different matter that in February, the court had agreed to have sufficient evidence against him and dismissed all his pleas. This legal battle lasted for about 2 years in a British court.

The judge said that Nirav Modi will be given adequate medical care and mental health care will also be done at Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai. The judge said that there is no risk of suicide by sending Nirav Modi to India as he has an adequate medical facility in Arthur Road Jail.
