The CBI is reportedly moving to seek the extradition of liquor baron Vijay Mallya from the United Kingdom after securing non-bailable warrant against him from a Mumbai court. CBI sources said, a request for extradition will soon be forwarded to designated authorities in the UK through diplomatic channels.
The investigative agency secured a non-bailable warrant against Mallya following it with an extradition request from the Special Court to competent authorities in the United Kingdom. Mallya had left the country in March despite look out circulars from CBI.
The agency had registered a case against Vijay Mallya, Kingfisher Airlines and other unknown officers of IDBI Bank for allegedly showing undue favours to Kingfisher Airlines, to sanction loans aggregating Rs 900 crore in Oct 2008-09.
