Vijay Mallya will not allow media trial
Vijay Mallya is wanted in India on the charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crore. He was ordered to be extradited by the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London where his extradition case was heard on Monday. India has been pursuing this case with zeal as the current Narendra Modi government has been under the weather due to him. On December 4th Mallya had tweeted his helplessness. He mentioned that the airlines like Kingfisher suffered due to high Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices (mentioned that Kingfisher faced the highest ever crude price of $ 140/barrel) and the bank money he had borrowed went to pay off the losses. He even said that he was willing to repay 100% of the principal amount.
