New Delhi, Oct 30: A Delhi court today allowed the
extradition of a fugitive Indian to United States who is
wanted by the authorities there for the alleged murder of his
niece.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) V K
Maheshwari ordered the extradition of Kamlesh Babu Lal
Aggarwal who is accused of murdering his niece Deepa Aggarwal
at a Florida apartment on July 11, 1999 and then fleeing the
country.
The ministry of external affairs had filed an application
for the extradition of the alleged 22-year-old fugitive after
being satisfied on the material submitted by the US government
through diplomatic channel seeking the extradition of the
accused in the case.
"There exists a prima facie evidence against the
fugitive. Hence I hereby recommend government that the
fugitive may be ordered to be extradited to US," the ACMM
said.
"The offence alleged to have been committed by fugitive
criminal is an extraditable offence," the court said.
The documents received from us revealed that the accused
eliminated his niece who was of the same age as he did not
like her relations with her boyfriend.
