UK Team Assesses Tihar Jail for Extradition Cases

The UK is deciding whether to send back Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya to India to face charges related to financial crimes.

Before they can be sent back, the UK needs to ensure the Indian jails are safe and fair.

A team from the UK visited Tihar Jail to check this.

They examined the jail conditions as the UK has previously denied extradition requests due to concerns over prison conditions.

Indian authorities assured the UK that the accused's rights will be protected.

They stated that a special area can be created within the prison for high-profile inmates if needed.

This assessment is part of the process to decide whether the accused individuals will be returned to India.
