India Urges UK to Extradite Fugitives Vijay Mallya & Lalit Modi
Former Kingfisher owner Vijay Mallya has been charged by Indian courts of defrauding banks worth Rs. 9,000 crores.
Indian authorities on Wednesday requested United Kingdom to expedite the extradition processes of estranged liquor baron Vijay Mallya and former IPL boss Lalit Modi so that they can be brought back home to face trials in courts here.
During the third India-UK home affairs dialogue in New Delhi yesterday, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba informed his British counterpart Patsy Wilkinson that India’s extradition attempts against Mallya and Lalit Modi are going on in UK’s courts currently but the government there must also do more on its behalf to help India expedite the process.
