Reportedly Liquor baron vijay Mallya was met with vociferous cries of the crowd chanting "chor hai" as he left The Oval stadium in London after the match between india and australia on Sunday. Currently Mallya is wanted in india on charges of money laundering and defrauding banks to the tune of Rs 9000 crore. Meanwhile in the video, Mallya can be seen surrounded by a crowd outside the ground just as he is leaving. ‘I am making sure my mother doesn’t get hurt,’ he can be seen saying in the video even as the agitated crowd heckles him.
Furthermore a little later in the video, the crowd can be heard saying “Apologize to the country, be a man.” Previously, Mallya’s son, siddharth, posted a photo on his Instagram page where he is seen with his father with the stadium in the background. Apparently Mallya, 63, left india on March 2, 2016 after defaulting on loans amounting to Rs 9,000 crore and he has repeatedly denied fleeing the country, saying he is ready to pay back the money he owed to the Indian banks.
Moreover india had in 2017 filed for Mallya's extradition, which he contested and he is out on bail. Further a consortium of 13 banks, led by the State Bank of india (SBI), has initiated loan recovery proceedings against him. The proceedings are on before a special court in mumbai under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act.
