“The experience in custody has been vivid and damaging,” Defence Barrister Clare Montgomery told the court. “Compelling argument”Earlier in the hearing, Judge Arbuthnot had raised the possibility of considering a 24-hour curfew were bail to be granted. “I won’t be granting bail,” Judge Arbuthnot told Mr. Modi, describing the £2 million as “not sufficient’ in the case. The hearing also focused on the prosecution’s contention that Mr. Modi had travelled out of the U.K. on a number of occasions since arriving here in December 2017, most recently in February 2019. India had made the allegations that he had significant assets “without revealing” that there were significant seizures in India, Ms. Montgomery said.
