A team from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has traveled to London to complete the final formalities related to the extradition of Nirav Modi, a fugitive diamantaire accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank (PNB) of ₹6,400 crore (approximately $770 million USD). The visit follows a recent ruling by the high court of justice in London's King's Bench Division, which rejected Modi's petition to reopen proceedings against his extradition order. The CBI team is expected to discuss Modi's legal situation, including a petition he has filed in France seeking assistance from the European Court of Human Rights, which has marked the case as confidential. The hearing in Strasbourg is anticipated to occur in mid-April, with Indian representatives present. The CBI has been actively pursuing Modi's extradition since his arrest in the UK in 2019, and recent developments suggest that his extradition is now imminent.
