Vijay Mallya in UK since 2016
However, amidst the celebratory fervour, the former tycoon of United Breweries and United Spirits found himself embroiled in legal turmoil, facing convictions in absentia for economic offences, including theft and money laundering, along with contempt charges from the Delhi Supreme Court in the aftermath of the 2012 collapse of his Kingfisher Airways into bankruptcy.
Having absconded to Britain in March 2016 to evade arrest, Mallya left behind a consortium of banks grappling with a staggering debt of ?1.14 billion. While Indian financial authorities have seized assets to mitigate the debt, the spectre of criminal charges looms large.
By 2021, Mallya¡¯s legal manoeuvres to remain in the UK hit a roadblock when the Supreme Court in London dismissed his appeal, deeming his case devoid of any new grounds for consideration. Speculation suggests that Mallya continues to reside in Britain, residing in an estate at Tewin, Hertfordshire, and a lavish mansion in Regent¡¯s Park, London.
Despite his legal entanglements, Mallya maintains a visible presence online. A cursory glance at his ¡®X¡¯ timeline reveals a penchant for posting during Indian festivities, often aligning with bank holidays. Whether it¡¯s New Year, Holi, Eid, or Dussehra, his tweets consistently resonate with the rhythms of these occasions.
