CBI to seek Ravi Shankaran's extradition in Navy War Room leak cas

New Delhi, Feb 25 (UNI) The CBI is seeking extradition of Navy War Room leak accused and retired Naval Chief Admiral Sushil Kumar's nephew Ravi Shankaran after it was convinced that he had fled the country.

An appeal to get him extradited from the United Kingdom, where he is expected to have fled, would soon be made in the court of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate here, according to CBI sources.

Earlier, the investigation agency had issued 'non-bailable warrants' against Ravi Shankaran and moves were afoot to get him declared a 'proclaimed offender'.

The CBI was handed over the case early last year for initiating criminal proceedings against those involved in the leak.

Retired Navy officers Ravi Shakaran, Kulbhushan Parashar and businessman Abhisek Verma were among those allegedly involved in the Naval War Room leak case.
