British High Commission on Thursday hinted at one more hurdle that can be faced by the Indian authorities before fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya's extradition. The United Kingdom said that under UK law, extradition can't take place until legal issues resolved.
In its statement, the High Commission said, "The issue is confidential and we can't go into any detail. We can't estimate how long this issue will take to resolve it. We are seeking to deal with this as quickly as possible."
Earlier on Wednesday, the reports of liquor baron Vijay Mallya being extradited to India picked up the pace. Mallya, who has been living in the UK in the last few years and owes the Indian banks a sum of Rs 9,961 crore, was reportedly being sent back last night.
