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).

Sushma Swaraj’s respond came in a reply to a question why India is not getting support from Britain on the extradition of Modi and Mallya.
