Vijay Mallya, liquor baron and owner of the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, was arrested by Scotland Yard in London on Tuesday evening on an extradition warrant. However, the 61-year-old was granted bail by the Westminster Magistrates’ Court roughly three hours after his arrest. Ever since Mallya’s escape to the United Kingdom almost a year ago, Indian law enforcement agencies have been trying to nab him.
It is a success of law enforcement agencies. I am confident that efforts to bring him back will fructify.Anil Sinha, former CBI director, to PTI
