Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya was photographed at son Sidhartha Mallya’s lavish wedding in the UK. The 68-year-old multimillionaire is accused in the over 900-crore alleged loan fraud case, being probed by the ED and Central Bureau of Investigation.
Sidhartha Mallya is the son of Vijay Mallya and his first wife, Samira Tyabjee Mallya. He married his girlfriend Jasmine in the UK this Saturday.
The lavish wedding was attended by close friends and family members. It took place at Vijay Mallya’s $14 million estate in Hertfordshire. Mallya had purchased the Ladywalk estate in Hertfordshire from Anthony Hamilton, father of F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, in 2015 – only a few months before he fled India.
Kingfisher Airlines promoter Vijay Mallya faces charges of money laundering and bank loan default to the tune of over ₹9,000 crore linked to the collapse of his airline in 2012. He fled India in March 2016 and is currently living in the UK.
