Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, whose petition to stay the Delhi high court judgment to extradite him to London to face charges of rape and murder in the Hannah Foster 2003 case which was rejected by the Supreme Court on July 20, claimed that he was innocent and had been framed by the British police.
Kohli will be extradited to London by a Virgin Airlines flight on Saturday. Kohli fled UK after the incident and was arrested from Indo-Nepal border in West Bengal a year later after the media helped Foster's parents in flashing the details of the incident over various TV channels, newsites and newspapers.
Kohli termed the attitude of the government of India as servile and said that India has never been able to come out of the colonial legacy and a hasty decision was taken to deport him to London where the British police was harassing his wife and two children.
Kohli wanted to file a review petition before the Supreme ourt on Monday, but the government decided to deport him to England which would bring an end to the long wait by the parents of 17-year-old Hannah Foster, who was barely 200 mt away from her house when Kohli allegedly picked her up and raped her before killing her.
