In Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail, I am afraid of becoming a coward

London: If Nirav Modi is extradited to India and kept in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail, there is a high probability that he will fall prey to Kovid-17 or commit suicide. Such an argument was made in the London High Court against the appeal for the extradition of Nirav Modi. Nirav Modi, 70, is wanted in India in a ને 2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud and money laundering case. His lawyers made the remarks in an appeal against the extradition order issued by District Judge Sam Goose in February in a court case remotely from a jail at Wandsworth in southwest London. The extradition has been approved by British Home Secretary Preeti Patel.

During the hearing of the renewal petition before Judge Martin Chamberlain, Nirav Modi's lawyers tried to establish that extradition could be dangerous for him given his mental state. These circumstances can lead him to suicide.

Nirvana's barrister Edward Fitzgerald argued that Judge Goose had erred in his extradition order in February. He did not even consider Nirav Modi's state of mental stress. He did not pay attention to the fact that this condition could lead him to suicide. He misrepresented that the mental state of the applicant had nothing to say.

The district judge concluded that the applicant's condition would improve upon his return. In addition, their detention conditions will improve. His findings are completely false. Nirav's lawyers, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Relies on Andrew Foster, who previously appeared in a case pending in Westminster Court in London. "In my opinion, Nirav is not immediate but is more likely to commit suicide at any time," he said. He is at risk of suicide, according to a report by Forrester on August 9, 2020. Prosecutors have also now ruled out the cause of Kovid-12, which could have an adverse effect on his health.

It was argued against the extradition order given to the Home Minister that he should not rely on the assurances of the Government of India.

There are two cases pending against Nirav Modi. In one case, the CBI is prosecuting for fraudulently obtaining PNB's Letter of Undertaking (LOU). The second case is that of money laundering by the ED.
