Vijay Mallya has become the subject of a heated debate in the nation and all over the media after he was found to have left the country when the Supreme Court issued a notice to him for non payment of loans to 13 banks. Now, he has broken his silence through Twitter and slammed media houses.
In a series of tweets, Mallya accused Times Now editors of deceit, libel and slander. He, then, went on to rubbish claims about him being an absconder and said he traveled frequently for business.
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.

The editor of Times Now needs to be in prison clothes and eat prison food for libel, deceit, slander and absolutely sensational lies.

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.
