Corrupt System Was Working With Nirav Modi: Mukul Rohatgi

Former Attorney General for India Mukul Rohatgi says the UK agreeing to extradition of fugitive businessman was a big victory for the country's legal system. "Nirav Modi's extradition is a victory for the legal system of India; a whole corrupt system was working with him," Mr Rohatgi said. Mr Modi, wanted for fraud and money laundering in the Rs 14,000-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) loan scam, can be extradited to India, a UK judge ruled today, dismissing arguments like his mental health worsening during the pandemic and poor Indian prison conditions.
