Former Kingfisher Airlines CEO Vijay Mallya, who has been hiding in the United Kingdom for more than five years after fleeing India over allegations of bank fraud, turned to Twitter to wish everyone a happy Ganesh Chaturthi.?
The fugitive businessman had no idea his tweet would spark a deluge of jokes on the microblogging site. "Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all," Mallya stated on Twitter.
If one looks closely at Mallya's Twitter timeline, it appears that the businessman exclusively uses the network to wish his admirers on public holidays. His previous tweets on the microblogging platform are shared at various festivals.?
Mallya, previously known as the 'king of good times' due to his luxurious lifestyle, fled to the United Kingdom in 2016 after being accused of bank fraud involving Rs 90 billion in loans. The black cloud of problems surrounding Mallya began in 2012.?
In 2017, the UK Metropolitan Police extradition squad detained the businessman on behalf of Indian authorities on fraud charges. He was eventually released on bond.
Several individuals on Twitter have asked Mallya why he only tweets on bank holidays. People used the chance to ridicule the 66-year-old head of the RPG Group conglomerate. Here's what people wrote in the comments.?
