Vijay Mallya: Media have convicted me guilty without trial with widespread influence

Yesterday, in a series of tweets, Mallya had alleged that there is a witch-hunt against him by the government.

“I am kind of getting used to these witch-hunts coming from all directions with no legal basis whatsoever. Shows what government machinery can do,” Mallya tweeted.

Claiming that Kingfisher Airlines “was a great public utility service connecting India like never before”, he said, “It was not my private toy.”

Mallya, who is now staying in London, also scoffed at suggestions that he had fled the country in the wake of the investigations against him, saying his departure was “nothing sudden. I have been a non-resident since 1988”.
