Breather for Mallya as UK refuses his deportation

May 11, 2016 08:27

The Indian government's efforts to bring back Vijay Mallya through the expeditious route of deportation came a cropper when the United Kingdom expressed its inability to accede to the request.

Through a note verbale to the high commission, it informed the investigating agencies of its inability to deport Mallya despite the fact that his diplomatic passport was revoked by the external affairs ministry on April 24.

However, the UK authorities have agreed to consider the government's request for Mallya's extradition under the 1993 treaty with India or any other necessary assistance under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty signed in 1992.
