March 25, 2019:
Nirav Modi was arrested in central London on March 19 after the Westminster Court issued a warrant against him.
He was arrested from Holborn metro station in London and produced before the court on March 20.
District Judge Marie Mallon, who presided over the hearing, rejected Modi's bail petition and noted "there are substantial grounds to believe that you would fail to surrender before the Court if bail were to be granted".
He has been lodged in the Wandsworth prison in Southwest London ever since.
On Mar 29, formal hearings in Nirav Modi's extradition case would begin.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), arguing the case for his extradition to face the Indian justice system on behalf of the Indian Govt, had strongly opposed bail because Modi had "deliberately evaded justice" and not returned to India despite a series of criminal summons issued by Indian courts.
