Vijay Mallya to be extradited to India

Vijay Mallya is to be extradited to India, ruled the Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Monday.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) welcomed the decision. On Sunday, a joint team of the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), led by CBI Joint Director A Sai Manohar, had left for the UK for the court proceedings.

Mallya is facing money-laundering charges to the tune of Rs 9000 crores and left India in 2016, following which, India initiated extradition proceedings against him.
