UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid has approved Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya’s extradition to India, The Times of India reported late on Monday.

The move comes after a UK court in December ruled that Mallya should be extradited from Britain to India to face fraud charges resulting from the collapse of his defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
