In another blow to beleaguered businessman Vijay Mallya, the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) on Tuesday directed JPMorgan Bank not to disburse $40 million of the $75 million sweetheart deal stuck between him and Diageo.
In tandem, the tribunal directed the New York-based bank to “attach” (submit) before it the statements of accounts held by Mallya in the bank. The presiding officer also directed companies, including Watson Limited, a Mallya-affiliated firm, to attach shares before the tribunal.
The directions came during the hearing on two applications filed by the consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India.
Liquor baron Mallya is accused of defaulting on loans worth Rs 9,400 crore and is currently living in exile in the UK on a diplomatic passport.
