Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has said India is "hugely angry" over the continued delay in extraditing fugitive businessman Nirav Modi, despite her signing the extradition order in 2021. Speaking on a podcast, Patel said the prolonged legal process had strained UK-India ties and complicated talks on the return of illegal migrants. Nirav Modi, wanted in India in the alleged $2 billion Punjab National Bank fraud and related money laundering cases, remains in a London prison. He has exhausted most legal options in the UK, and his extradition to India is widely expected after years of court proceedings. (PC: NDTV)
