There's a 'possibility' that Vijay Mallya was 'tipped off': Former AG Mukul Rohatgi

Former attorney-general Mukul Rohatgi said on Thursday that "there is a possibility" liquor baron Vijay Mallya was "tipped off", which let him flee the country on March 2, 2016.

"There is a possibility that somebody may have tipped him off about the banks moving the debt recovery tribunal against him," Rohatgi told The Telegraph.

The former attorney-general made no reference to the controversy triggered by the confirmation of an encounter between Mallya and finance minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament before the loan defaulter fled.
