Not an absconder, I respect the law of the land, Vijay Mallya Tweets

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.

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
