A special CBI court in Mumbai has issued a non-bailable warrant against Vijay Mallya for failing to repay a bank loan of nearly Rs 180 crores. This action follows a 2016 FIR filed against Mallya and nine others for alleged loan default from the Indian Overseas Bank between 2007 and 2012.
Vijay Mallya, a fugitive businessman accused of a ₹9,000 crore loan fraud in India, was spotted at his son Sidhartha’s wedding in the United Kingdom. The lavish ceremony took place at Mallya’s $14 million mansion in Hertfordshire, showcasing his continued opulent lifestyle despite facing legal troubles in India.
Sidhartha Mallya, son of fugitive Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, is set to marry his longtime girlfriend Jasmine in London. The news was announced on Instagram, sparking mixed reactions from users who recalled Vijay Mallya’s financial troubles and subsequent flight from India.
The Punjab Police have registered an FIR against a YouTube channel for allegedly equating Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha with fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya. The channel, ‘Capital TV,’ is accused of disseminating misleading content concerning the Delhi liquor scam and making claims that AAP sold tickets for elections. The complaint also alleges that the channel referred to Chadha as a “Khalistani supporter” following his meeting with UK MP Preet Gill. The FIR has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion, forgery, and making statements likely to cause public mischief. Additionally, the FIR includes a section of the Information Technology Act concerning computer-related offences.
Former Indian spinner Anil Kumble reveals how Vijay Mallya, former owner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, insisted on bringing him to the team during the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League. Despite not being included in the initial list of icon players, Mallya’s declaration of Kumble as his ‘Bangalore boy’ at the auction ensured his acquisition by the RCB at his base price. Kumble remained with the team for three seasons, making 42 appearances and capturing 45 wickets.
