UK court approves extradition of British pharmacist to India
A Westminster magistrates court judge found there is a case to answer and approved the extradition of Ajith Kumar Mupparapu, a 46-year-old British pharmacist wanted in India. The Crown Prosecution Service presented the case on behalf of Indian authorities, which allege four separate 2023 incidents including an arsenic poisoning that killed Sirisha Muttavarapu's mother, succinycholine injections, and plots to hire killers and stage a road accident. Defence lawyers contested evidence and warned of possible torture if he is returned. The written judgment relied on assurances about his treatment and allows India to seek his trial.
