Nirav Modi bail plea rejected in UK court

London’s Westminster Magistrate Court on Friday rejected the bail plea of ​​the accused and fugitive diamond trader Nirav Modi of the PNB scam on Friday. Toby Cadman, who was lobbying on behalf of Indian officials, told the court that Nirav was not cooperating with Indian investigative agencies in the investigation. At the same time it is also a risk that if he is released from jail, he will affect the witnesses and destroy the evidence against him. The next hearing of the case will be on April 26.

In the court, Nirav Modi’s hearing was done through video conferencing. Earlier, Toby Cadman told the correspondants that if Nirav Modi gets bail during the hearing, we will appeal against it in the High Court. He said that we will do all the possible measures to keep Nirav Modi in jail.

On the other hand, Joint Director of ED (Satyam) Satyabrat Kumar has been transferred for technical reasons on Friday evening. He completed five years of deputation in the Enforcement Directorate. He is investigating many important matters like India’s fugitive businessman Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and Coal Scam. Currently, he is in London’s Westminster Court for a hearing against Nirav Modi in London.

After completion of deputation, Satyabrat Kumar will continue investigating the case of Coal scam. In fact, the Supreme Court has stayed the transfer of investigating officers or supervisory officers in this case. In such a situation, unless a new inquiry officer is appointed in place of Satyabrat, he will continue to be supervisory officer to investigate the coal block scam. However, other related files related to them will now go directly to the Additional Director through the concerned authorities.

It is known that the joint team of CBI and ED has reached the Westminster Magistrates’ Court for hearing in the case of fugitive diamond trader Nirav Modi. Agencies have enough evidence against Nirvav Modi. An officer from the CBI and ED team arrived in London said that London’s Crown Service will keep their word against the bail petition of Nirav Modi.

Nirav was arrested this month by British police from London. After this, the Westminster Magistrate dismissed his bail plea and ordered him to go to jail. At that time, Nirav’s lawyers had also offered a security deposit of five lakh pounds (about Rs 4.5 crore) in the court. After this, Nirav Modi had filed a bail plea again.
