Liquor baron Vijay Mallya has been asked to appear before a PMLA court here on July 29 in connection with its money-laundering probe against him in an alleged bank loan fraud case with the special judge saying he has “absconded” and was “concealing” himself to avoid arrest.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) published a court-issued proclamation against Mallya for appearance before the special PMLA court on July 29, on Wednesday.
The proclamation has been published in some prominent national dailies here and in Bangalore. The proclamation was issued by a special anti-money laundering court here on June 14 under Section 82 of the CrPC at the request of ED which is probing his role in the Rs 900 crore IDBI-Kingfisher Airlines loan case.
The agency, they said, has served the order on Mallya through official channels. The ED had sought the proclamation notice to be issued against Mallya as it said he had “multiple” arrest warrants pending against him.
