Vijay Mallya Slams Recovery Of Double His Dues From His Attached Assets

A day after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had recovered and restored to banks an amount of ₹22,280 crore from properties of economic offenders, Vijay Mallya has said he will “pursue relief” in the matter. Mallya argued that the amount recovered from his assets were more than twice the award announced by the Debt Recovery Tribunal in the Kingfisher Airlines case. Interestingly, Mallya’s online post received support from another fugitive from law, Lalit Modi. According to the Finance Minister, other than Mallya, recoveries have been made from Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi among others.
