Mallya's extradition verdict to be pronounced on Dec 10

September 12, 2018 21:04

A court in the United Kingdom will decide on December 10 if fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya will be sent back to India to face prosecution on charges of fraud and moeny laundering amounting to around Rs. 9,000 crore.

Today, the court reviewed a video of the cell in a Mumbai jail where he might be lodged once he is extradited.

After the hearing, Mallya's lawyer called the video a "varnished version".

In her closing submission, lawyer Clare Montgomery also claimed the Central Bureau of Investigation has threatened Indian banks to file charges against Mallya.

The CBI, too, has been forced to file charges, she said.

"Look at the video submitted by the Indian government. Clearly shows that walls were specially painted. Perhaps a new toilet was put in," Mallya's lawyer said.

The 62-year-old boss of the defunct Kingfisher Airline has challenged an extradition request filed by the CBI, alleging that the condition in Indian jails is not humane.

Indian jails, his lawyer had argued, do not have proper air and light.
