Vijay Mallya, the former owner of Kingfisher Airline appeal against extradition was granted by the High Court in the United Kingdom. He criticised the Central Bank Of Investigation and said they were falsely accusing him. He even went ahead and tweeted that this whole thing by CBI was a ‘Witch Hunt’
After all the mockery made of me I would respectfully ask those interested parties to focus on the Divisional Bench Judgement in England today allowing me to challenge the core of the false prima facie case filed against me by the CBI. Witch-hunt ?

There were a series of tweets from his account that brought him back in news. He mentioned that he still wants to pay the banks that lent money to the Kingfisher Airlines and that too in full. He further said that he wants to pay the Kingfisher employees and other creditors and move on in life. The funniest part of the tweet where he was said ‘Please take the money’.
Despite the good Court result for me today, I once again repeat my offer to pay back the Banks that lent money to Kingfisher Airlines in full. Please take the money. With the balance, I also want to pay employees and other creditors and move on in life.

Vijay Mallya was charged with fraud and money laundering charges worth 9,000 crores. He did not pay the employees, pilot and the staff of Kingfisher Airline and fled to the United Kingdoms as the Indian authorities would not have been able to exercise their rights and carry out criminal procedure against him.

Last December, Mallya’s case was rejected by the lower court which is why he approached the High Court in the United Kingdom. The High Court of the UK consisting of a bench of two judges will now be hearing the entire case as appeal hearing. The HC also mentioned that the defendant, Vijay Mallya may not have got the chance to answer, according to the TOI report.
In between all this Mallya’s tweets are just blowing up Twitter, he seems to be very relieved after his appeal was granted by the High Court and he sure is expressing that on twitter. Here is another tweet where he says ‘Justice Prevails’ and that he always knew the charges were false.
First Published: July 17, 2019 3:18 PMGod is great.Justice prevails. A Division Bench of the English High Court with two senior Judges allowed my application to appeal against the Magistrates Judgement on the prima facie case and charges by the CBI. I always said the charges were false.
