London: Fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi on Wednesday said extradition to India would severely impact his mental health and worsen his suicidal tendencies, his lawyers cited at a London court hearing.
In a fresh appeal against extradition in the UK, Modi’s lawyer cited the poor condition of Arthur Jail in Mumbai where Nirav is supposed to be kept after his extradition to India.
The lawyer added that understaffing of doctors and overcrowding results in delays in getting prisoners to hospitals when in need. He also cited Modi’s mental health risk and suicidal tendencies from the time his mother died by suicide when he was eight-year-old as well as systematic delays in getting psychiatric consultations.
