In a supplementary chargesheet filed by the CBI before a special court in Mumbai last year, the agency has alleged that even as the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Limited (KAL) was facing severe financial crunch in India, its promoter Vijay Mallya was “acquiring personal assets in overseas countries”, even just before he left India in 2016.
While the supplementary chargesheet was filed on May 5, 2022, the special court took cognizance of it this month. Mallya is currently in the UK, pending extradition proceedings.
The agency has for the first time included extensive details of overseas bank accounts and transactions linked to Mallya, including the transfer of $ 40 million received by him from an agreement with Diageo Plc in 2016
