New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Sunday said that her ministry will seek extradition of former IPL chairman Lalit Modi and industrialist Vijay Mallya, both in Britain, once it receives revised requests from the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
“As soon as extradition request is received about these two (Lalit Modi and Vijay Mally), we will forward it,” she said at a press conference here.
