A matter of reputation.

"India...condemned a breach in the security for external affairs minister S Jaishankar in the UK after a pro-Khalistani protester broke past a police barrier and got close to the minister's motorcade in London." HT. First, not every protester is a terrorist, and second, there is no evidence that the person intended any harm. The person may have wanted to present a petition or have a few words with the minister. "The British Charge d'Affairs was called in to the external affairs ministry and served a demarche or a formal diplomatic protest, the British side said threats to public event were unacceptable." HT. Indian politicians consider themselves high above Indian citizens and so the outrage over the breach in security of the sacrosanct minister. For the British, it was a break in decorum. Here in India, "British national Christian James Michel, the alleged middleman in the controversial VVIP chopper deal, told a court... that he feared for his safety if released on bail and preferred to remain in judicial custody." "Michel was extradited from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in December 2018 and has remained in custody since then." CBI and ED have not been able to bring him to trial. HT. In 2021, "Princess Latifa, daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoun, has for the first time described how she was captured by Indian special forces three years ago on a boat off the coast of India and despite kicking and screaming that she was seeking political asylum she was tranquilized and carried into a private jet." TOI. In 2020, a UK court found that Sheikh Maktoun "had indeed tried to kidnap his two young children and threaten their mother and his sixth wife," and also noted that Sheikha Latifa "was forcibly taken off a boat off the coast of Goa by Indian marine commandos." This helped India strategically, "no matter how horrible the human price," wrote Jyoti Malhotra. A young Sikh activist from Dumbarton in Scotland, Jagtal Singh Johal was snatched by Punjab Police from the streets of Jalandhar on 4 November 2017. Apparently, he was made to sign a confession under torture but last week was "acquitted in the first of nine cases against him". BBC. As a result, "Sanjay Bhandari, a London-based businessman accused of tax evasion and money laundering in India, has successfully appealed against his extradition to India." "The court's decision, delivered by Lord Justice Timothy Holroyd and Justice Karen Steyn," "noted that torture to extract confessions is 'commonplace and endemic' and cited evidence of extortion and violence in Indian prisons, including Tihar jail," where "prison officials were unlikely to protect him from such threats". The Indian Eye. India is still trying to extradite Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi for alleged financial crimes in India. ET. Reputation is like Humpty Dumpty. Once broken cannot be "put together again".  Citizens have no value in India. Others see them as humans.
