Business Standard
|July 25, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday sought the UK's cooperation to bring to justice economic offenders and fugitives from India who are currently living in England.
India and the UK also agreed to ramp up joint efforts against organised crime, serious fraud, and illegal migration with a new framework signed between the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the UK.
On the matter of extradition of economic offenders, "our agencies" will continue to work together in close coordination and cooperation, Modi said at a joint press briefing with his UK counterpart Keir Starmer in London. The agreement seeks to increase cooperation in tackling corruption, serious fraud, organised crime, and irregular migration through enhanced intelligence-sharing and operational collaboration.
