India and the UK recently discussed accelerating mutual legal aid treaty actions and giving fugitive extradition requests a top priority. Notable targets for extradition by Indian agencies include Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Sanjay Bhandari, Punjabi separatists, and wanted terrorist sympathisers hiding in the UK.
Stephen Kavanagh headed a UK delegation that visited the CBI Headquarters and talked about strengthening operational cooperation. Sharing criminal intelligence, fighting financial crimes, organised crime, cybercrime, terrorism, and international threats were among the subjects covered.
Future exchanges and a deeper level of cooperation were the goals of the discussions. The delegation, which included individuals such as Christina Scott and Robert Holness, emphasised their dedication to stepping up intelligence cooperation and supporting one another in combating international criminal threats via Interpol channels.
The visit is a critical step in strengthening both countries’ international collaboration in the fight against transnational crime. A shared resolve to fortify relations and work closely together to tackle shared security issues was expressed, with a focus on how urgent it is to advance extradition and mutual legal help for runaways.
While Praveen Sood welcomed the visit and praised the commitment to cooperation, Stephen Kavanagh expressed gratitude for the partnership and reaffirmed their commitment to improving collaboration.
