How did the Vijay Mallya trick happen
To proceed with his business, he took weighty advances from different banks but was not repaying them. Many banks announced his bankruptcy and didn’t give further advances yet he kept on taking it from various banks utilizing his key place of authority. One more deceptive practice done by his carriers was that they were not paying any PF and compensations to their workers and duties to the public authority. With such extraordinary misfortunes ceaselessly, he would not pay the pay rates of his representatives and shut down his business.

It was likewise finished by an Individual from Parliament who knows how to get away from the criminal risk. This is the explanation that he has not been sentenced at this point in spite of numerous endeavours of the Indian Government. This is equivalent to “equity deferred is equity denied” and shows the insufficiency of the framework to manage such circumstances.
According to the reports of Seasons of India, the courts in the UK acknowledged the solicitation of removal of Vijay Mallya to India in 2019, however, has not been sent back yet as he is making an honest effort to remain in the country using any and all means.
