vayuu1 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi, who is wanted in the multi-crore Punjab National Bank fraud in India, is living in a luxurious apartment situated in London’s West End and running a diamond business, according to a report published in The Telegraph. A video released by a UK-based newspaper on Saturday shows Modi, apparently sporting a jacket made from “Ostrich hide” which costs “at least £10,000” (over Rs 9 lakh), repeatedly answering “no comment” to every question posed by the reporter. Modi is living in a “three-bedroom flat occupying half of a floor of the landmark Centre Point tower block, with views across London”, likely to be rented at around £17,000 (Rs 15 lakh), the report stated. Citing highly placed sources in UK government, The Telegraph reported that Modi was provided with a ‘National Insurance Number’ by the Department for Work and Pension which allows him to operate online bank accounts in the country while still being on a wanted list in India. When asked about this, Modi replies: “No comment”. Hours after the Telegraph reported about the presence of Nirav Modi in London, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the government is taking all steps to extraditethe fugitive diamond trader. “We are aware that (Nirav Modi) is in the UK, otherwise we wouldn’t have requested for extradition,” MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said at a media briefing. “The UK is still considering our request to extradite Nirav Modi…The government is taking all necessary steps for his extradition,” Kumar added.
