Nirav Modi's Mental Health, Indian Prisons in Focus at UK Extradition Case

News 18  

Nirav Modi’s fragile mental health and the prison conditions in India were once again in focus during the fugitive diamond merchant’s ongoing extradition hearing related to the Punjab National Bank scam case at a UK court here on Wednesday. The third day of the five-day hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, presided over by Justice Samuel Goozee, was devoted to the defence laying out further arguments against a prima facie case of fraud and money laundering against Modi, who observed the court proceedings via live videolink from Wandsworth Prison in London. Besides fears related to a COVID-19 outbreak earlier in the year, references were also made to a medical expert’s addendum report which highlighted much more serious concerns around Modi’s mental health. UK-based prisons expert Dr Alan Mitchell, who has previously given witness statements in the extradition case of former Kingfisher Airlines boss Vijay Mallya, and the medical expert are among a set of defence witnesses scheduled to give live evidence in court over these issues later this week.
