Twin blow for Mallya: MEA suspends passport, ED seeks non-bailable warrant

India TV News  

New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs has suspended the passport of beleaguered industrialist Vijay Mallya. The move follows Mallya’s no-show for the third time to summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Rs 900 crore loan that he has failed to repay to IDBI Bank. No sooner had the MEA announced the suspension of Mallya's diplomatic passport, the ED, which is probing cases of loan fraud and money-laundering against the former liquor baron, moved a special PMLA court in Mumbai seeking a non-bailable warrant against him in connection with the Rs.900 crore IDBI loan fraud case. The ED had earlier requested the MEA to take action under the Passport Act, 1967 and ask the Regional Passport Office to revoke Mallya’s diplomatic passport, leading to its suspension. In its request to the MEA, ED said that Mallya had been "un-cooperative" with its investigators probing a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act at its zonal office in Mumbai.
