Mallya has
debt liability of over nine thousand crores taken from public sector banks.
Mallya had taken about Rs.22,000 crores in the name of several companies,
including its own company Kingfisher Airlines. On the complaint of banks, many
agencies including the Directorate of Enforcement of Government of India and
the Central Bureau of Investigation are investigating against him. Against him

the companies owned by Mallya has been seized on the directive of the court. Due
to non-payment of debts and leaving the country, the government has to face a
lot of embarrassment in the case of Mallya. When the banks approached the court
for recovery of debt, Mallya ran away in March 2016.

approved by the UK Government
Earlier, the
UK government had approved India's request to extradite Vijay Mallya, a
fugitive alcohol businessman living in London on Friday (March 24). Government
of India sent the request to London's Westminster District Court. After the
warrant is issued by the court, action will be taken to extradite Vijay Mallya.
