Modi sought bail and offered 5 lakh pounds but the court rejected it, saying that there was substantial ground to believe that the businessman may not surrender. His counsel had told the court that he has provided documents to the police including travel documents. His lawyer also showed employment pass, Hong Kong ID card, other bank cards to bring home his point.
