New Delhi: Fugitive businessman and founder of closed Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya can be extradited anytime in the next few days. A top government source said that all the formalities related to Mallya’s extradition have been completed.
This has been indicated by India after the petition against his extradition was rejected in the UK top court on 14 May. A top source of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) associated with the case said that we will bring Mallya back sometime in the next few days. However, the source has not disclosed the date of extradition.
According to the ED source, Mallya’s petition has been dismissed in the British Supreme Court. We have completed all the formalities for his extradition. The CBI and ED teams are working on his extradition. A CBI source associated with the case said that after extradition, we will first take him in custody as we had first filed a case against him.
The biggest obstacle to Mallya’s extradition was resolved on 14 May when Mallya lost the case against him. Now the government has to bring it back within the next 28 days. 20 days have already passed since 14 May. In such a situation, he has to be brought back within the next eight days.
