Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju will lead a delegation to the U.K. this week. The team is expected to ask Westminster to “spell out” its position in court on businessman Vijay Mallya’s extradition. Mr. Modi’s visit to the U.K. coincides with the hearing in Mr. Mallya’s case when the court takes up the “admissibility of evidence.”

A senior Home Ministry official said, “Till now U.K has assured us of all possible help in the extradition requests placed by India, but we would like to know the stand they are going to take in court in Mallya’s case.”

A senior official said the MoU will streamline the return of illegal migrants to India.
