Priti Patel Criticizes UK's Delay in Extraditing Nirav Modi to India
Priti Patel, a British Indian shadow minister, has expressed strong disappointment over the UK's delay in extraditing Nirav Modi, a jeweller wanted in India for a significant banking fraud and money laundering case. Despite exhausting his legal options in the UK and losing a plea at the European Court of Human Rights, Modi remains in a London prison. Patel, who signed the extradition order in 2021, criticized the British legal system for its inefficiencies, suggesting that the delay has strained UK-India relations. The Indian government is reportedly frustrated by the situation, which has complicated diplomatic engagements.
