Nirav Modi Was Spotted in London and Twitter Tried to Capture Him With Memes

Sporting a handlebar moustache and donning a £10,000 (approx 9 lakh) jacket, Nirav Modi was recently tracked down in London’s West End by UK-based The Telegraph.

When confronted with questions by the journalist, the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam accused business tycoon simply ducked them by saying, “Sorry, no comments”.

Further investigations by the newspaper revealed that the fugitive businessman is living in the luxury central London apartment and has also started a new diamond business in Soho. Modi also reportedly takes a daily walk from his home to the office with his dog.

Modi's rare appearance captured the imagination of funny people of Twitter and some even pitched in ideas to bring him back to India.

How about this as a plot:#NiravModi is arrested by four undercover RAW agents. They take him to an underground room.

"Mr Modi, you know diamonds, and you're already in london. If you can get the Kohinoor back, all is forgiven."

Cue rock music to set up heist prep montage.

The moral of the story is this...
No matter how hard you try...
No matter how much ostrich skin you wear.....
It's hard to get a cab in London. #NiravModi

Vijay Mallya & Nirav Modi, both are in London.

This is not surprising. Historically, England has always been home to people who loot India.

Nirav Modi's response was exactly how I would have responded if my wife ever caught me cheating on her.

My first thought when I heard "We know #NiravModi lives in a flat that costs over 40 crores" was...wait...he's in Colaba?

It took an exceedingly polite British journalist who looks like he stepped out on an amble to track down Nirav Modi. Imagine if it were an Indian broadcast journo - his lungs & heart would have collapsed with excitement.

Pakistani version of #NiravModi. Pakistani leader faces tough questions, gives a ‘perfect’ answer to journalists. Nirav Modi must be inspired from him. #NoComments pic.twitter.com/nSIr9FfmDJ
