Take all my money and close the case: Vijay Mallya to government

London : Fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya on Thursday urged the central government to take back 100 per cent of his loan dues and close the case against him.

He congratulated the government over the recent announcement of Rs 20 lakh crore relief package to boost Indian economy and urged the government to pay attention to his repeated call to pay back the loan dues.

"Congratulations to the Government for a Covid 19 relief package. They can print as much currency as they want BUT should a small contributor like me who offers 100% payback of State-owned Bank loans be constantly ignored? Please take my money unconditionally and close," he tweeted.

Earlier this month, Vijay Mallya had appealed in UK Supreme Court against the high court ruling to extradite him back to India.

The application comes two weeks after the High Court in London — the UK's second-highest court — dismissed Mallya's appeal against a lower court ruling that he be sent to India to face charges of defrauding a consortium of Indian banks of more than Rs 9,000 crores relating to the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines in 2012.
