A UK court on Friday rejected bail application of fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi. The court will take up the matter for hearing on April 26. The Westminster Magistrates’ Court observed that there is substantial ground that fugitive diamond trader will fail to surrender. The court said, “Nirav Modi's attempt to try and seek citizenship of Vanuatu shows he was trying to move away from India at an important time." The Crown Prosecution Service told the court that the diamond merchant posed a flight risk and he has made death threats to witnesses related to PNB fraud case.
