India has formally requested French authorities to approve the extradition of liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya 'without preconditions.' The request was made during the 16th session of the India-France Joint Working Group on Counter Terrorism on April 15. India seeks updates on the status of its extradition proposal to France and actively pursues Mallya's extradition, especially in countries where he holds property. Mallya faces allegations in a bank loan default case exceeding Rs 9,000 crore and has been residing in the UK since March 2016. India has declared him a fugitive, with many of his Indian assets auctioned off.
