BY ANI, Nov 9, 2022 4:26 PM - REPORT AN ERRORFugitive diamond businessman Nirav Modi on Wednesday lost his appeal against extradition to India with a United Kingdom court dismissing his plea.
The High Court of London (United Kingdom) on Wednesday dismissed the appeal of Nirav Modi, who is wanted in India to face money laundering and fraud cases.

The Bench of Justice Stuart Smith and Justice Robert Jay of the High Court said "no features of psychotic illness". The court rejected Nirav Modi's counsel's claims that he will die by suicide due to severe depression and said "Nirav Modi neither is nor is very likely to be at the most severe end of the scale of depressive illness".
