Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya is said to have been playing 'nice' guy, offering to pay back. He has already said in July that he had made an offer to an Indian court in a bid to settle the charges, but denies that was an admission of guilt. A British court earlier this month ruled Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya, the owner of Kingfisher beer and head of the Force India Formula One team, can be extradited to his homeland to face fraud charges.
Mallya has been seen to be fighting to remain in Britain but judge Emma Arbuthnot said he had misrepresented how loans received from banks would be used and therefore had a case to answer.
Regardless of the merits and demerits of the case, one thing is quite clear: London has become a theatre of Indian politics. The question is whether or not London has also become a theatre of Pakistani politics.
