Court recommends extradition of Bangladeshi national to UK

A Delhi court has recommended to the Centre the extradition of a Bangladeshi national, accused of murdering his wife and two daughters in the UK in 2007, to London to stand trial in the case.
The court recommended extradition of accused Mohammad Abdul Shakur after he voluntarily consented to surrender to face trial in the case.
"I hereby recommend to Union of India to extradite the fugitive criminal Mohammad Abdul Shakur to the requesting state i.E. United Kingdom of Great Britain," Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Sudesh Kumar said.
The ACMM also referred to the extradition treaty between India and the UK and said the offences alleged against Shakur were "extraditable".

The order came after the Centre, through advocate Naveen Kumar Matta, forwarded the request received from UK seeking extradition of Shakur.
Matta told the court that Shakur was wanted in the UK to stand trial on the allegation that he had fled from London after murdering his wife Juli Begum and two daughters at their house in January 2007.

The court, in its order, referred to the statement given by UK's Metropolitan police detective sergeant John Simm before the district judge in Westminster in which he had related the entire sequence of event which allegedly led to death of the woman and her two daughters.

Simm stated that Shakur had married Begum in Bangladesh after which his wife had returned to the UK and few months later, the fugitive criminal also followed her and she sponsored his entry in that country.
The police official said there were strains in their married life and in 2002, Begum called police because of Shakur's behaviour.
