TOI correspondent from London: The family of British national Christian Michel, the alleged middleman incarcerated in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for more than seven years in the AgustaWestland chopper scam case, has stepped up efforts to secure his freedom, with his son Alois Michel calling upon India to “follow its own extradition laws” and release his father. He also compared his father’s case with that of Nirav Modi, the fugitive diamond merchant accused of defrauding PNB to the tune of Rs 13,000 crore before fleeing to the UK.
Speaking to TOI over the phone from Madrid, Alois (28) said the Indian govt, in order to secure Modi’s extradition from the UK, promised that he would not be interrogated or face additional charges in India. Yet, in his father’s case, they were doing the opposite, he added.
