Purulia arms drop case: CBI Director hopeful about Danish national's extradition

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Ashwani Kumar has said he is hopeful about securing the extradition of Danish national Kim Davy, the prime accused in the 1995 Purulia arms drop case.
Kumar noted that certain legal formalities are to be completed for the custody of Kim Davy.
"We are trying for his (Kim Davy's) extradition since 2002 and Denmark government has agreed for it. Diplomacy has also agreed. Only the legal process remains since Kim Davy has filed an application in a court there that he doesn't want to be extradited. India has given them all the guarantees but now we'll have to fight the case because Kim Davy also has his rights and he doesn't want the extradition," said Ashwani Kumar.
"Thus, we will have to fight the case and hire a lawyer. We'll fight the case and we have good evidence and government of Denmark is with us and I am sure we'll be able to get him soon," he added.
The Interpol had recently informed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that the Denmark authorities have decided to extradite Purulia arms drop case mastermind Kim Davy aka Neils Holck to India.
CBI spokesperson Harsh Bhal had said the Interpol would facilitate the extradition of Davy to India after receipt of documents formally from the Danish authorities though diplomatic channels.
