Nirav Modi is accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank (PNB) of Rs 6,498 crore, part of a larger Rs 13,578 crore scam linked to his uncle, Mehul Choksi.
Justice (retired) Deepak Verma, a former Supreme Court judge, has reportedly given an expert opinion supporting fugitive businessman Nirav Modi in his latest attempt to reopen extradition proceedings in London, HT reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Verma is believed to have backed Modi’s request, in which the jailed businessman argued that if he were sent back to India, several investigating agencies could question him and he might not get a fair trial in the Indian courts, an official told the outlet.
