Absconding businessman Vijay Mallya, who has been dodging to repay debts, has made a humble request to banks to accept his offer to pay back the money he borrowed to keep his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines afloat despite high jet fuel prices.?
Mallya also slammed Indian media for continuously calling him a fugitive.

Mallya tweeted his request after alleged AgustaWestland deal middleman Christian Michel was brought to India from the UAE.?
Mallya fled to the UK in March 2016. He is wanted in India over the default of Rs 9,000 crore that was loaned to Kingfisher Airlines by similar banks.
In a series of tweets, the embattled businessman said that the huge loans he took from banks went into keeping his now-defunct airlines.
He also claimed that his vast liquor empire, United Breweries, contributed handsomely to the state exchequer.
