| India will explore the possibility of signing an agreement with the United Kingdom on exchanging information on criminals, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said today.
Interacting with visiting UK Minister of State for Immigration James Brokenshire in New Delhi, Mr Rijiju said New Delhi will "positively consider" a draft on the matter and advance the signing of the memorandum of understanding on information exchange.
"Rijiju raised the issue of as many as 131 pending requests from New Delhi on extradition of wanted persons under the Extradition Treaty," an official statement said.
Assuring of cooperation, Mr Brokenshire, however, said these matters were for the British courts to decide.
Besides the provision of death penalty in India and the European Commission's provisions on human rights proved to be hurdles in acceding to the requests, the UK minister said.
