UK not yet approached for extradition of Mallya, Lalit: Sushma Swaraj

New Delhi:  India has not yet approached the UK for extradition of liquor baron Vijay Mallya and former IPL boss Lalit Modi , wanted by Indian investigators in multiple cases, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Sunday, as the ED is still to provide required documents to her ministry.
Swaraj said that in the case of Mallya, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had sent her Ministry the extradition request but certain changes were suggested and the probe agency was yet to respond. With regard to Lalit Modi's case , she said the ED has not sent the required documents.
"When we get requests for extradition in both the cases, we will send them (to the UK)," Swaraj told a press conference. She said the previous UPA government had only sought deportation procedings against Modi and it was only NDA government which was seeking his extradition.
