MEA Wrote UK to Deport Mallya

Mumbai: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday declared that it had written a letter to the British High Commission ‘seeking Mallya’s return under India’s anti-money laundering law.’ Reports are that the Indian government had asked Britain to ‘deport’ Vijay Mallya who is to repay as many as $1.4 million to the banks owed by his now defunct company Kingfisher Airlines.


In a later development of the notice, Mallya declared that ‘he is in forced exile’ and happy to be in UK. The United Breweries who flew to UK last month from Delhi also added that the Indian banks and government ‘are not getting any money by taking his passport or arresting him.’
Following charges against the former formula one boss, Mallya’s diplomatic passport was revoked last week. A parliament MP and liquor baron, Mallya is now subjected to non-bailable warrant issued by a special judge in Mumbai. Also, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has charged Mallya’s liquor company United Breweries for using Rs. 4.3 billion of bank loans to buy property at abroad.
