Malaysia has reportedly deported a Sri Lankan national arrested in Kuala Lumpur for an alleged conspiracy to carry out terror attacks on the American and Israeli consulates in South India to Sri Lanka, ignoring New Delhi's extradition request.
India, according to the Colombo Page web site, had sought the extradition of Mohammad Hussain Mohammad Sulaiman, a 47-year-old Sri Lankan national, arrested by Special Unit of Malaysian Police from the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur in May.
Sulaiman was recently sent back to Sri Lanka by Malaysian authorities without even executing a production warrant issued by a special court in India seeking his extradition,
India, according to the web site, has argued that Sri Lanka did not immediately require Sulaiman's custody and he could be a key to unravelling mysteries behind the botched terror plot allegedly planned by the ISI-backed groups to attack the US consulate in Chennai and the Israeli consulate in Bangalore.
However, the Attorney General's office in Malaysia did not proceed with the Indian production warrant and instead suggested to its government that it deport Sulaiman to Sri Lanka where he is allegedly facing charges in a murder case.
