Is Vijay Mallya Sending Expensive Diwali Gifts to Well-Wishers?

Vijay Mallya owes over Rs 9,000 crore to 17 banks.

A picture of a lavish Black Label box, apparently sent to someone by liquor baron Vijay Mallya was tweeted by a senior journalist, who later ‘confirmed’ the authenticity of the picture. It seems the Rs 9,000 crore debt hasn’t affected Mr Mallya’s luxurious life in any way.

Here’s the beautiful box of Black Label that you might wish to check out:
