India has written to the High Commission of the United Kingdom in Delhi requesting the deportation of Vijay Mallya to secure his presence for investigations against him under Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Briefing media in New Delhi this afternoon, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said Indian High Commission in UK will also be issuing a similar note verbal to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Vijay Mallya’s passport was revoked last week in view of the investigations and a non bailable warrant was issued against him by a Mumbai court. Mr. Swarup said, India will continue to pursue this matter with the United Kingdom authorities.
