Fugitive businessman and indian liquor baron Vijay Mallya seems to be on the verge of losing the battle of stalling his extradition to india and stay as a refugee in the UK. According to official sources in UK, earlier this month, Mallya won his appeal in the ensueing asylum case, but the indian agencies have been pressurising the UK government not allow him refuge and go for a judicial review.

“The decision is in the hands of Priti patel, UK home secretary. She has to take the final decision. We have received positive signals from the UK government,” the government official said. The indian government claims to have reasons to say that Mallya will be soon landing in india . “In UK, though the process of getting asylum is a closed and opaque process, the country gets no extra points in protecting Mallya,” the official adds.

Sources also say that Mallya convinced the asylum tribunal that if he gets extradited to india, he will be persecuted since he has information about some of the powerful people in India. “To prove his point, he is said to have shown the tribunal some tapes of influential politicians and media persons, which were apparently about bribes for his rajya sabha membership and for his business in india,” an official, involved in part of the extradition process revealed.

Foreign secretary harsh vardhan Shringla last week claimed that indian government is confident of getting Mallya back to the country, as the UK authorities gave the "best assurance". Shringla was on a two-day UK visit from July 23-25 where he held meetings to review the Roadmap 2030 strategy with the officials for an enhanced UK-India partnership.
