While the Home Office in UK was vigorously trying its best to throw Lucas out, the same Home Office in UK is trying its best to keep economic offenders like Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi from being deported: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/india-asks-britain-to-deport-vijay-mallya/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/india-asks-brita...
"The Home Office said the suspension of Mr Mallya's passport was a matter for Indian authorities and declined to comment on the individual case, citing its policy of neither confirming nor denying if any extradition request has been received until an arrest is made."
It's been 2 years since India sent a formal extradition request. It has been rejected twice.
Just to explain the absolute ridiculousness of this entire exercise to those who aren't aware: The case is still pending in UK court and the defence is actually arguing about the cleanliness of Indian jails and if adequate toilet facilities are provided for a fugitive:

With this action of the Home Office, it has been made abundantly clear that the "human rights" of an economic fugitive far outweighs the human rights of Lucas.
- xaranke 8y agoI wish I could upvote this more than once. While in London, I saw Mallya's residence from the outside and it doesn't look like anything has changed for him - he still has a Maybach and a mansion near the Baker Street tube station. Seeing him living in luxury instead of being brought to justice really broke my heart.
