LONDON (AP) — Fugitive diamond tycoon Nirav Modi has been arrested in London at the request of Indian authorities.

The Metropolitan Police force says 48-year-old Modi was detained Tuesday in central London and held overnight in custody.

He is due to appear at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

A jeweler to Bollywood stars, Modi is wanted in India over allegations of banking fraud. Last year the international police organization Interpol issued a “red notice” for his arrest.

BJP shamed into giving the UK the nod to arrest Nirav Modi after the @ndtv expose: UK’s fraud division wrote several letters to India on Chota Modi’s presence in London, requested more docs to proceed with the arrest. All the letters were ignored till the expose.

All ignored till 20 days before election. Now he'll get bail in London. Then extradition hearings will start. By which time elections will be over and then start again 5 years later.
