Vijay Mallya, who is fighting extradition to India, requested the government to accept his offer to repay 100 per cent of his loan dues and close the case. As he congratulated it o on the Rs 20 lakh crore economic package, Mallya was sad that his repeated offers to repay his dues were ignored.?
"Congratulations to the Government for a Covid 19 relief package. They can print as much currency as they want BUT should a small contributor like me who offers 100% payback of State owned Bank loans be constantly ignored?" he tweeted.?
Mallya, promoter of the defunct Kingfisher Airlines, who is wanted in India over alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to estimated Rs 9,000 crore, added,"Please take my money unconditionally and close."?
Earlier this month, Mallya had filed an appeal in the UK Supreme Court after losing an appeal in the London High Court against an extradition order to India on alleged charges of fraud and money laundering related to unrecovered loans to Kingfisher Airlines.?
In the past, Mallya had tweeted that he had offered to pay 100 per cent of the amount borrowed by Kingfisher Airlines to the banks but neither banks were willing to take the money nor the Enforcement Directorate was willing to release his attached assets at the behest of the banks.
The latest update is that he has lost his appeal and is eligible to be extradited from UK in 28 days.?All his legal options are now exhausted. UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has the final call.
