India is likely to raise the pending extradition of economic offenders, including Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi, during United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit this week, News18 has learnt.
The extradition of Mallya and Modi had figured in a virtual summit between India and the UK last year, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting that economic offenders should be sent back to the country at the earliest for trial.
Indian Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla, too, had raised the issue at the India-UK Home Affairs Dialogue with his UK Counterpart in February this year.
The Indian side has communicated concerns on the anti-India activities of certain extremists and radical elements in the UK. This is likely to figure in the upcoming talks as well.
