Asked about possible deportation of Modi, his lawyer Mehmood A Abdi said that all options are under consideration.
"It is under active consideration. All options are being weighed. We will see what action needs to be taken on it (passport revocation)," Abdi told PTI.
However, the sources said, deportation can end up being a long-term process as various legal issues will have to be looked into.
