Nirav Modi is frantically looking for a lawyer who can help him secure political asylum in UK, says an exclusive report in NDTV.com. The billionaire diamond merchant, wanted in India for an 11,000-crore bank scam, has approached at least two firms in the United Kingdom, sources have told NDTV.
One of them is ‘‘Boutique Law, a firm linked to Indian-origin lawyer Anand Doobay who specialises in criminal and regulatory matters, including fraud, extradition and money laundering.’’ The other company whose services Modi is learnt to have sought is Mishcon De Reya. NDTV queries to both these firms have gone unanswered.
