Mallya Claims Banks Recovered Over Rs 14,000 Cr, Calls Legal Pursuit Unjust

Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, currently residing in London, has publicly questioned the ongoing legal proceedings against him over dues linked to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. Mallya argued that banks have already recovered more than Rs 14,000 crore, citing what he described as an Enforcement Directorate affidavit filed before the Bombay High Court. He alleged that the ED itself had confirmed both the recovery and the transfer of these funds to the concerned banks. Based on this claim, Mallya contended that continuing legal action against him amounts to an injustice. His remarks came as part of his broader effort to defend his position in the long-running bank dues case.
