Letter Published in The National UAE on 12 Dec 18 Vijay Mallya’s loss is Narendra Modi’s gain

I write in reference to your article India’s king of good times loses extradition battle (December 11): this article was good to read.

Vijay Mallya was defeated in his attempt to evade extradition and remain in the UK.

But his loss is Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s gain, after he made it his mission to bring Mr Mallya back to India to account for his past default loans to many banks.

In the past, the business tycoon enjoyed a good life but now his troubles have deepened further. Whether he wins in this battle by appealing to the compassion of the judiciary remains to be seen.
