Overview

• Indian authorities sent a written assurance stating Modi will not be interrogated or taken into custody by any agency and will face only the fraud and money-laundering charges underlying the extradition order.
• The pledge was jointly issued by five agencies — the CBI, ED, SFIO, and the Customs and Income Tax departments — to confine proceedings to the existing cases.
• India told the UK that Modi would be housed in Barrack No. 12 at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail, with an updated video and facility details provided to address detention standards.
• The Crown Prosecution Service is expected to submit the assurance to Westminster Magistrates’ Court, which admitted Modi’s plea to reopen proceedings and set a hearing for Nov. 23.
• UK courts previously ordered Modi’s extradition in 2021 and upheld it in 2022; he has been held in London since 2019 in connection with the alleged ₹6,498 crore PNB fraud.
