Why is there a delay in bringing fugitive businessmen Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya back to India, and when will they be brought back? Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal gave information on this matter. A journalist had asked him about a video recently released by Lalit Modi. In the video, he is seen with Mallya saying, “Yes, we are fugitives.” The journalist asked whether it seemed they were deliberately taunting Indian agencies. What is the status of this matter? Are the agencies being lenient, or why are there delays? What is the update on this?

What is the government doing to bring back the fugitives?
Responding to this question, Randhir Jaiswal said that the Government of India is committed to bringing back all those who have fled the law. We are talking to many countries in this matter. And I want to assure you that we are absolutely determined and committed to bringing them back.
Lalit Modi shared a video with Mallya
Recently, Lalit Modi released a new video on social media. This video was of Vijay Mallya’s birthday party, where Lalit Modi was also present. The most surprising thing is that Lalit Modi himself posted this video on his official Instagram account and sarcastically called himself along with Mallya as “India’s two biggest fugitives”.
