Vijay Mallya, who owes crores of rupees to more than a dozen banks and is wanted by the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering, today said that he is not an absconder and he did not flee from India.
In the series of tweets, he blamed media trial and said he is not an absconder, and abides by the law of the land.
The editor of Times Now needs to be in prison clothes and eat prison food for libel, deceit, slander and absolutely sensational lies.

I am an international businessman. I travel to and from India frequently. I did not flee from India and neither am I an absconder. Rubbish.

As an Indian MP I fully respect and will comply with the law of the land. Our judicial system is sound and respected. But no trial by media.

Let media bosses not forget help, favours,accommodation that I have provided over several years which are documented. Now lies to gain TRP ?

News reports that I must declare my assets. Does that mean that Banks did not know my assets or look at my Parliamentary disclosures ?

Once a media witch hunt starts it escalates into a raging fire where truth and facts are burnt to ashes.

Mallya’s departure, possibly to London also led to conflict in Parliament yesterday. While Congress alleged of criminal conspiracy saying Mallya was allowed to escape, the government hit back insisting that the loans were given to him during UPA rule
