New Delhi: Industrialist Vijay Mallya on Friday said that he is not an absconder and he will comply with the law of the land. He is facing legal proceedings for alleged loan defaults of nearly Rs 9,000 crore and has to repay the amount owed to banks by his collapsed airline.
The international business took to Twitter and wrote, “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.”
He further tweeted, “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.”
Mr. Mallya wrote, “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 ?,” he wrote.
He added, “Once a media witch hunt starts it escalates into a raging fire where truth and facts are burnt to ashes.”
