Vijay Mallya's passport revoked: Ministry of External Affairs

New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs on Sunday revoked the passport of Liquor-baron Vijay Mllaya, whose Kingfisher Airlines has allegedly defaulted on loans of over Rs 9,400 crores. "After having considered replies by Vijay Mallya, MEA revokes his passport under S.10(3)(c) & (h) of Passports Act," MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted. Only last week, Acting on the central probe agency's request, the Ministry of External Affairs had recently suspended the Rajya Sabha MP's diplomatic passport and had sought a reply from him as to why his passport should not be revoked as the ED had said the businessman was not cooperating in the probe in the said case under the stringent Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Armed with a non-bailable arrest warrant against him, ED had approached the External Affairs Ministry seeking initiation of deportation proceedings against liquor baron Vijay Mallya in connection with its money laundering probe against him in the Rs 900 crore IDBI alleged loan fraud case. Mallya had refused to appear before the ED on three occasions when summoned between Mar 10 and April 2. (With input from agencies)
