India said on Friday the extradition of Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley to the country was still possible as there were additional charges against him, which were not part of the plea bargain he had entered into with the United States.
“If there are other offences, which are not covered under the plea agreement, then of course extradition is still possible,” Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said when asked about the chances of India being able to get Headley extradited.
Asked whether he meant to say that the country had more proof to seek Headley's extradition, Mr. Pillai replied in the affirmative.
“Oh yes. There are other charges, which do not come under the 12 counts [on which he had pleaded guilty and which is part of the plea agreement],” he said.
Mr. Pillai said India had “excellent cooperation” with U.S. agencies, which had been handling Headley.
