UK court hearing on Nirav Modi's extradition set for November
Nirav Modi, the key accused in the massive PNB bank fraud, is set for a crucial UK court hearing on November 23.
He's asking to reopen his extradition case, but Indian agencies have reassured the UK that if he's sent back, he'll only face existing charges—no unexpected arrests or fresh interrogations.
Nirav's brother arrested in US
If extradited, Modi will likely be held in a high-security barrack at Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail.
He's been behind bars in London since 2019 after his extradition was approved.
His lawyers have flagged concerns about his mental health and jail conditions, which Indian officials say they've addressed.
Meanwhile, things got even messier this July when Nirav's brother Nehal was arrested in the US for allegedly helping launder money and destroy evidence tied to the same scam.
