Nadeem cannot be brought back overnight: CP

The court will decide whether the necessary orders have to be passed straightaway, or another date of hearing needs to be declared.

Mendonca, however, assured that the Mumbai police have a strong case at their disposal against Nadeem. The police commissioner observed that an impression had been conveyed by media hype and attention that the two-member Mumbai police team would be bringing Nadeem back in a jiffy overnight.

Meanwhile, Nadeem’s long-time partner in music direction, Shravan, declined to make any comment on the extradition proceedings, saying the matter is sub-judice. Asked if he had received any message from Nadeem, Shravan said, “I have not spoken to him recently on the telephone, though I know from reading newspapers that a Mumbai police team is already in London in connection with the proceedings.”
