- Malaysian Prime Minister has said that Malaysia has the right not to extradite Dr Zakir Naik if he is not going to be accorded justice.
- India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) had earlier charged Zakir Naik with laundering INR193 crore in illicit funds. ED I now preparing to secure a non-bailable warrant against Naik.
- If the warrant is issued, ED would send petition to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) for a red notice to member countries, including Malaysia. Further, it would approach Malaysian authorities to extradite Naik to India under the two countries’ extradition treaty.
- The INTERPOL is an international organization that facilitates worldwide police cooperation. An Interpol red notice is a request to locate and provisionally arrest someone pending extradition. It is issued at the request of a member country of INTERPOL or an international tribunal based on a valid national arrest warrant.
- Extradition is the formal process of one state surrendering an individual to another state for prosecution or punishment for crimes committed in the requesting country’s jurisdiction.
- In India, the extradition of a fugitive (accused or convicted) is governed by the Extradition Act, 1962. The extradition of a fugitive depends upon the treaties/conventions/arrangements entered into by India with other countries. India and Malaysia had signed an extradition treaty in 2010.
