"He Saved Virat Kohli’s Career.." THIS RCB Owner Challenges MODI Govt With a BIG Legal Demand

In the world of the Indian Premier League (IPL), there is always one team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), that is under discussion in and out of the topic of cricket. This team is always in the headlines, whether it is due to cricket being played, or any controversy related to the team, or it is about the RCB owner fraud. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru was founded back in 2008 and was owned by renowned businessman Vijay Mallya.

The ex-RCB owner, Vijay Mallya, showed interest and backed the young India U-19 skipper Virat Kohli during the first-ever auction of the IPL. It was expected that Virat would be picked by Delhi Daredevils (Now Delhi Capitals), but Delhi went on with Pardeep Sangwan, who was also in hype during that period. RCB bought Virat Kohli for just $30,000 after leading India to the U19 World Cup victory. This move was done by Vijay Mallaya, and currently, he takes the credit for saving the career of Virat Kohli by picking him in the inaugural auction from where he went on to become the best batsman in IPL. However, despite all these Vijay Mallya case is always under discussion.

Vijay Mallya Case: What's the Recent Development

In the recent development around the Vijay Mallya Case, Vijay Mallya has taken up the issue with the higher authorities that there has been a discrepancy in the official statement of the Central government and public sector banks regarding the amounts allegedly recovered from him. However, he has urged the government to appoint a retired judge to conduct an independent investigation.

Mallya questioned, “Finance Minister says Rs 14,100 crore recovered from me, while banks say Rs 10,000 crore. What about the difference of Rs 4,000 crore?” According to the Minister of State stated he still owes Rs 10,000 crore, while banks claim Rs 7,000 crore remains unpaid, which was also brought to the notice by Mallya.

Who are Fugitive Economic Offenders?

Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed that there are around 15 Fugitive Economic Offenders who are involved in financial fraud against public sector banks. This list of Fugitive Economic Offenders includes Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Nitin J. Sandesara, Chetan J. Sandesara, Dipti C. Sandesara, Sudharshan Venkatraman, Ramanujam Sesharathnam, Pushpesh Kumar Baid, and Hitesh Kumar Narendrabhai Patel.

Moreover, it is also confirmed that there is no such policy being made till now to prevent these offenders from committing a similar kind of fraud in the future.
