Why is the UK becoming a UK favorite for cheating folks?

Neerav Modi, Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya are not just three examples who have fled from India seeking shelter in the UK. Actually, this list is quite long. Since 2013, more than 5,500 people from India have applied for political asylum in the UK. The special thing is that not all of these are criminals. In such a big question, why is London becoming a direct and easy way for Indians?

The UK has signed on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and if the UK courts feel that if a person is extradited, it can be tortured or sentenced to death or political If the person is being extradited for reasons then he can dismiss the extradition request.

Unequal standards
India and the UK signed an extradition treaty in 1993, but progress has not been shown on this. On one hand, India extradited Maninder Singh Kohli, accused in a murder case in 2008, while the UK has stopped all requests for extradition of India. It includes the name of British citizen Raymond Worlé who is accused of child abuse in Goa.
Lease on lease
If Neerav Modi (who has now fled to the UK and is being asked that he has sought asylum) is approved, then he can stay there for a minimum of 5 years without worry. After that, it can be extended further.
