The CPS will be arguing on behalf of the Indian authorities when the fugitive businessman’s extradition case comes up for hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on 13 June. “The next hearing is 13 June for a case management hearing,” a CPS spokesperson said today. He was arrested by Scotland Yard last month on fraud allegations, triggering an official extradition process in the British courts.
