No, she should be punished under UK laws and then deported —> under British law she should be punished in the UK as this was a crime under British laws.

Furthermore, I think she would also be prosecuted under INDIAN laws for crimes committed abroad.

I just googled and saw that India exercises extra-territorial jurisdiction over its citizens under Section 4 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) (and the updated Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, BNS) —> so if an Indian citizen commits an act abroad that constitutes a crime under Indian law, Indian courts possess the legal authority to prosecute them as if the crime had happened inside India.

so if the Brits don’t punish her, India will
