Purulia arms drop case: India to pursue Kim Davy's extradition
September 24, 2012 13:31
India has decided to make fresh efforts for extradition of Purulia arms drop case prime accused Kim Davy after a Danish court turned down a plea for sending him here to face trial in the 17 year-old sensational case.
The decision was taken after Union Home Secretary R K Singh discussed the issue of extradition of Kim Davy to India with Indian Ambassador to Denmark Ashok Attri last week.
"It was decided that the case should be pursued vigorously with the Danish government to extradite Davy to India at the earliest," a home ministry official said.
The case relates to an incident on the night of December17, 1995, when an AN-26 aircraft dropped arms and ammunition in West Bengal's Purulia district. The consignment had hundreds of AK-47 rifles, pistols, anti-tank grenades, rocketlaunchers and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
