Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), on Thursday, asked the British High Commission to deport Vijay Mallya to India. This development happened soon after the Ministry revoked Mallya’s passport.

Vikas Swarup, MEA spokesperson, said on Thursday:

The ministry has written to the High Commission of the UK in Delhi requesting the deportation of Vijay Mallya so that his presence can be secured for investigations against him under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002.
