[ad_1] After the arrest of fugitive Indian businessman Mehul Choksi in Belgium, his lawyer, Vijay Aggarwal, said on Monday that they will be filing an appeal to release the businessman from custody, citing his ill health and ongoing cancer treatments. Choksi was arrested in Belgium on Saturday after local authorities confirmed his presence in the country. Sources said that preparations were being made for his extradition to India. However, Choksi has started preparing for a legal battle, with lawyers looking to secure bail. #WATCH | Delhi: On the extradition of fugitive Mehul Choksi who has been arrested in Belgium, his Advocate Vijay Aggarwal says, “This is a process of any country, whether it is India or anywhere else… If a country makes a request to another country, then the process is that… pic.twitter.com/1MecCQR3LL — ANI (@ANI) April 14, 2025 “My client, Mehul Choksi, has been arrested in Belgium, and at the moment, he is in custody. We will be starting the process of filing an appeal against this, and then, as a process of the appeal process, we will request that he be pulled out of prison. The major ground for the plea is his ill health and that he is undergoing cancer treatment, and ofcourse, he is not a flight risk at all,” Choksi’s lawyer, Vijay Aggarwal, told ANI in Delhi. #WATCH | Delhi: On Indian agencies push for extradition of fugitive Mehul Choksi, his Advocate Vijay Aggarwal says, “There is no push.

It is a process. Non-bailable warrants have been issued against him since 2018. A prerequisite for extradition is an open-ended, non-bailable warrant. Earlier, they tried to pick him up from Dominica, but they failed. So then, by the Dominican court order, my client was getting his treatment in Antigua. For his medical treatment, he had to go to Belgium, and he has been there getting his treatment for the cancer. Arrest is a process. Whenever, for any country, there is an extradition request made by another country with which they have a treaty. First of all, the person has to be arrested, then the person has to show that they have community ties, and then we have to show that he is not a flight risk and that there is a medical condition. So that’s the only ground,” Aggarwal stated. The 65-year-old fugitive diamond merchant who left India on January 2, 2018, is wanted by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly defrauding the PNB of Rs 13,850 crore. His nephew, Nirav Modi, was also involved with him in the fraud. After the arrest, Punjab National Bank Scam whistle-blower Hariprasad SV said it would be very difficult for India to get Choksi back home as he will employ the best lawyers in Europe to avoid the process. #WATCH | On fugitive Mehul Choksi’s arrest in Belgium, Punjab National Bank Scam whistle-blower Hariprasad SV says, “Extradition is not going to be an easy task.

Choksi’s wallet is full, and he will employ the best lawyers in Europe to avoid the process like what Vijay Maliya has been doing. I don’t think it is going to be easy for India to get him back,” he said. He also mentioned that Choksi cheated at least 100 franchises, and most of them filed cases in different cities in India. Hariprasad said, “The legal system in India is undoubtedly very great, but the extradition process depends on the country we are dealing with. This case is not going to be easy, as he has so much money.”

Vijay Mallya: A Profile in Ambition and Controversy

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Vijay Vittal Mallya, born on December 18, 1955, in Kolkata, India, emerged as a prominent figure in both the business and political realms. He hailed from a distinguished family, with his father, Vittal Mallya, serving as the former chairman of the United Breweries Group. Mallya’s journey into the business world commenced with his ascension to the chairmanship of the United Breweries Group at the young age of 28, following his father’s demise.

Educated at La Martinière Calcutta and later at St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, Mallya honed his business acumen and leadership skills. His early exposure to the family business instilled in him a drive for success and innovation, setting the stage for his ambitious endeavors in the years to come.

Rise to Prominence

Mallya’s foray into entrepreneurship saw him expand the United Breweries conglomerate, propelling its turnover to remarkable heights. His strategic vision and dynamic leadership earned him the moniker “King of Good Times,” reflecting his flamboyant lifestyle and business success. In 2005, Mallya ventured into the aviation sector with the launch of Kingfisher Airlines, aiming to revolutionize air travel in India.

The Downfall of Kingfisher Airlines

Despite initial success, Kingfisher Airlines faced turbulence as operational challenges and mounting debts threatened its viability. Mallya’s ambitious expansion plans, coupled with economic downturns and flawed business strategies, led to the airline’s eventual demise in 2012. The collapse of Kingfisher Airlines marked a significant setback in Mallya’s career, tarnishing his once-glittering reputation.

Financial Controversies and Extradition Efforts

Mallya’s fall from grace was compounded by allegations of financial impropriety and loan defaults. Indian banks, led by the State Bank of India, sought to recover substantial sums owed by Vijay Mallya, initiating legal proceedings and extradition efforts. His attempts to evade accountability and flee to the United Kingdom further intensified the legal battle, casting him as a symbol of corporate malfeasance and financial mismanagement.

Legacy and Legal Battles

The legacy of Vijay Mallya is one marred by controversy and legal battles, underscoring the complexities of business ethics and corporate governance. Despite his entrepreneurial achievements, Mallya’s downfall serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the perils of unchecked ambition and financial recklessness.

As the Indian government pursues extradition proceedings and legal action against Mallya, his status as a fugitive economic offender underscores the broader challenges of white-collar crime and regulatory oversight. His story serves as a sobering reminder of the responsibilities and repercussions inherent in corporate leadership.

Conclusion

Vijay Mallya’s journey epitomizes the highs and lows of entrepreneurial ambition, from the pinnacle of success to the depths of controversy and legal scrutiny. His rise as a business magnate and subsequent fall from grace offer valuable lessons in accountability, integrity, and the complexities of modern capitalism. As legal proceedings continue and his legacy unfolds, Mallya remains a polarizing figure, emblematic of both the allure and pitfalls of corporate power.

Breaking News: Fugitive Economic Offender Vijay Mallya To Be Extradited To India

[jayprakashraj]

PM Modi’s Operation ‘Bhagoda Return’: Government Clamps Down On Fugitives, Preparations To Bring Them To India | Raj Express

India is intensifying efforts to bring back economic offenders who fled to Britain. Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, and Sanjay Bhandari are among those targeted. Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and National Investigation Agency (NIA) teams will visit London to facilitate their extradition.

A mansion sitting on top of a skyscraper in the Indian city of Bangalore has attracted attention, not just for its unlikely aesthetic and lavish composition, but also because the owner of the mega home is unlikely to set foot in it.

The two-storey replica of the White House, located at 400 feet, is built on the top of Kingfisher Towers and covers an area of 40,000 square metres.

The $20million mansion sits upon a giant cantilever slab on the top of the skyscraper in the luxury retail and office space UB City and is built on a 4.5-acre land parcel that once held the owner's ancestral home.

Vijay Mallya, the son of United Breweries Group founder Vittal Mallay, left India in March 2016 as lenders and investigating agencies came after him, after he allegedly borrowed huge sums of money and never returned any of it.

Mallya, 67, has been fighting against the charges ever since, and India has been attempting to get him extradited from the UK.

[ad_1] Mr Tugendhat also highlighted how India and the UK are cooperating in new technologies. (file)New Delhi: The United Kingdom has no intention of becoming a place where those seeking to evade justice can hide, British Security Minister Tom Tugendhat said, amid India's continuing push for extradition of billionaire fugitives Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi.Mr Tugendhat, without citing specific cases, said legal processes must be adhered to in matters relating to extradition."We both (the UK and India) have legal processes that must be gone through. But the UK government is absolutely clear, we have no intention of becoming a place where those who are seeking to evade justice can hide," he told PTI in an interview.Mr Tugendhat was in India on a three-day visit from August 10 to 12, primarily to attend the G20 anti-corruption ministerial meeting in Kolkata.In Delhi, he held talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.The British Security Minister was replying to a question on India's persistent demand for extradition of a number of economic offenders including Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi, who are living in the UK.Nirav Modi, the fugitive diamond merchant, is wanted in India to stand trial on fraud and money laundering charges.The 52-year-old businessman last year lost his legal battle in the highest UK court against being extradited to India in the estimated USD 2 billion Punjab National Bank loan scam case.But his case is now said to be "statute barred", indicating further pending litigation.Vijay Mallya, who fled to the UK in March 2016, is wanted in India over a default of Rs 9,000 crore that was loaned to Kingfisher Airlines by several banks.Asked about his talks with NSA Doval, the British Security Minister declined to share the details but noted that the broad bilateral cooperation is focused on security of the two nations and the prosperity of the citizens."We're talking about the security of our two nations and the prosperity of our citizens, their ability to conduct their business at home and abroad," he said."But we're also talking about the challenges we face, and we've both made it clear in different ways that the challenge of China is one that faces us both, and we've seen incidents on your northern border, but we've also seen the way in which technology has changed and the way in which we need to address it as areas in which we need to have greater cooperation," he said.Mr Tugendhat highlighted how India and the UK are cooperating in new technologies relating to artificial intelligence (AI)."We see today that India is not just a centre of Indian AI, it's also a centre of British AI," he said."There are many firms whose data points, whose data sources are located here, often in Bangalore, and using the extraordinary technical capabilities of Indian AI experts to analyse data and to improve the productivity of their businesses," he added."This is a fantastic benefit both to the United Kingdom and of course to India. And so making sure that we're able to do that, we're protecting our interests, and we're developing those technologies is absolutely essential to our common future," Mr Tugendhat noted. (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)Featured Video Of The DayFans Celebrate India's victory against Malaysia In Asian Champions Trophy final [ad_2]

Mallyaji when asked said that he had come to UK on a business trip and not run away from India. The UK court replied which person comes with 300 bags as luggage for a short business trip. So the extradition which Mallya ji was delaying under human rights excuses got thrown out, now India can get him back.
