A consortium of Indian banks is fighting a case in London against the fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya in an effort to extradite him. During one of the hearings in this case, the British court asked the Indian authorities to provide a video footage of Barrack number 12 of Arthur Road jail.

Why is a British court concerned about Barrack number 12? The answer is that Barrack number 12 is the place where those accused of economic offences are lodged. So, if Vijay Mallya is extradited, his next address could be Barack number 12, Arthur Road jail.

But Mallya claims that the condition of the Indian jail is not good. That the jail barely gets natural light, and keeping him in such condition will be a violation of human rights.
