CBI's move comes after the agency had shown photographs of the jail to the magistrate in London, however, Mallya's lawyer had expressed objections asserting that it wasn't atrue representation.

The judge then asked the CBI to video record the barrack and produce it in court to ally apprehensions of human rights violations raised by Mallya's lawyers.

The UK court has been hearing money laundering case against Mallya, a charge he vehemently denies. The former liquor baron had said he was ready to settle "all dues" but hadn't filed a clemency plea.

If the verdict goes in favour of the Indian authorities, the UK home secretary will have two months to sign Mallya’s extradition order. However, both parties will get the chance to appeal in higher courts in theUK against the Westminster court’s verdict.

The case will come up for hearing again on September 12th.
