Priti Patel Criticizes Nirav Modi Extradition Delay and Its Impact on India-UK Relations
Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel criticized the prolonged delay in extraditing fugitive businessman Nirav Modi to India, describing it as "appalling and horrified." She linked the delay to strained India-UK relations, noting that India was "hugely angry" and reluctant to accept illegal Indian migrants from the UK amid the unresolved extradition. Modi, wanted in India for a multi-billion-dollar Punjab National Bank fraud case, remains in UK custody after exhausting legal appeals. India’s Ministry of External Affairs stated that extradition will proceed once UK judicial processes conclude.
