Vijay Mallya, who has been living in Britain since last year, was arrested by Scotland Yard last month in London at India’s request for his extradition. Though Prasad maintained no specific case was discussed at the meeting, some other official sources said the Mallya case was indeed raised by the union home secretary. “Both India and the UK laid emphasis on cooperation on anti-terrorism mechanism and to strengthen mutual support to check cyber crimes. India and the UK signed an extradition treaty in 1992, but so far only one person has been sent back under it. India had made a formal extradition request for Mallya through a note verbale, a diplomatic communication, on 8 February.
