Event Summary

Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel expressed strong disappointment that Nirav Modi remains in the UK despite an extradition order she signed in April 2021. Patel, now shadow foreign secretary, stated that Indian authorities are 'hugely angry' over the delays, which she described as an abuse of the UK legal system. Modi is wanted in India for a $2 billion fraud involving Punjab National Bank and money laundering. He has exhausted his legal options in the UK and reportedly lost a final plea at the International — European Court of Human Rights, making extradition imminent. Patel noted that the case complicated UK-India cooperation on visa overstayers.
