Will India extradite me if UK prosecutors are seeking my surrender for a conspiracy charge where I never entered the UK?

India can extradite for conspiracy offences even where you never physically entered the UK, provided the alleged criminal agreement had effects within UK jurisdiction. Indian courts will examine whether the conduct constitutes conspiracy under Indian Penal Code provisions and whether sufficient jurisdictional nexus exists. However, this creates fertile ground for defence arguments: you may challenge the extraterritorial reach of UK criminal law, argue that India has primary jurisdiction over conduct occurring on Indian soil, or contend that prosecution in India would be more appropriate given the location of evidence and witnesses.
