Netizens Can't Keep Calm Over Mallya's ‘Return To India' Buzz: ‘Covid, Pak War To This Podcast...'
Last Updated: Vijay Mallya hinted at the possibility of returning to India but only if he is promised a fair trial. Vijay Mallya is back in the spotlight. Recently, the 69-year-old appeared in a podcast where he opened up about his journey from the rise and fall of Kingfisher Airlines to becoming the owner of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). He also addressed the financial allegations against him for the first time in years, hinted at the possibility of returning to India but only if he is promised a fair trial. 'If I am assured, absolutely I will. I will think about it seriously," Mallya said on the podcast hosted by YouTuber Raj Shamani. During the discussion, Mallya shared his concerns about India's legal system, especially around how people are treated while awaiting trial. 'There are other people the government of India is targeting for extradition from the UK… where the High Court of Appeal has found Indian detention conditions violative of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)," he said. Referring to what he sees as prolonged detention without due process, he said, 'They just lock you up and throw away the key." The interview, which is over four hours long, has triggered a wave of reactions online. Some were impressed with how open Mallya was, while others questioned the sudden buzz around him. One user commented, 'Raj Shamani's pod with Vijay Mallya is top notch. Like a cinema. Full of emotions, arguments and counter-arguments… Also, my prejudices about Raj Shamani cluttered a lot." Another said, 'So my generation has now seen demonetisation, Covid, lockdown, India-Pak war, RCB winning the IPL, Covid coming back and Vijay Mallya on a podcast." Which is the PR agency that is employed by Vijay Mallya ? Suddenly since a week there is so much content around him on this app.— Vipul (@Sporty_Baba) June 6, 2025 'Everyone is making a comeback in 2025, including even Vijay Mallya," a person remarked while another added, 'Vijay Mallya on Raj Shamani was not on my 2025 list. 4 hours long." So my generation has now seen demonetisation, covid, lockdown, India-Pak war, rcb winning the ipl, covid coming back and Vijay Mallya on a podcast Raj Shamani's pod with Vijay Mallya is top notch. Like a cinema. Full of emotions, arguments and counter arguments. Let the audience decide about a complex and controversial figure. Also, my prejudices about Raj Shamani cluttered a lot. — Satya (@heypinoc) June 6, 2025 'Vijay Mallya has done a podcast. First time he's facing any media since leaving India. Four hours eighteen minutes podcast. WHAT THE HELL I think man has opened up and spoke everything that he felt was unsafe to speak so far," an individual said. is it worthy of watching Vijay Mallya Podcast??— Ayush Singh (@imabhinashS) June 6, 2025 In the podcast, Mallya also addressed the label of 'fugitive." 'You may call me a fugitive for not returning to India after March, but I didn't run away. I flew on a prescheduled visit. Fair enough, I didn't return for reasons I consider valid," he said. He also spoke about the financial allegations against him and questioned the way he's been portrayed, 'Where is the 'chor' (thief) coming from? Where is the 'chori' (theft)?" Mallya left India in March 2016 after the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines. The airline's failure left several Indian banks with unpaid loans worth over Rs 9,000 crore. Since then, he has been living in UK and fighting extradition while Indian authorities continue efforts to bring him back to face charges of financial fraud and money laundering.

Averted Bengaluru-like stampede in Hyd: Police
Hyderabad: A potential stampede was averted through swift and firm action after celebrations over Royal Challengers Bengaluru's maiden IPL title turned unruly near the state Secretariat here on the night of June 3, said the Hyderabad police on Thursday. While fans across Hyderabad took to the streets to celebrate RCB's win, chaotic scenes emerged at certain locations - particularly near the Secretariat - prompting police to rush additional forces. Mild force was used to disperse revellers who were behaving in a disorderly manner, police said. "In the RCB's IPL victory celebrations over 20,000 people gathered from Secretariat Road to IMAX circle which led to a massive traffic jam. Ambulances were stuck and the public faced inconvenience. But the Hyderabad City Police responded swiftly & firmly and averted a potential stampede situation and safeguarded many lives. The Telangana State Police and Hyderabad City Police remain committed to ensuring public safety at all times," the Hyderabad City Police said in a post on 'X' on Thursday. In a post on 'X', Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand said, "Watching and hearing about the stampede in Bangalore made me wonder where we are going! This is not a national team winning the World Cup ! It's a mere franchise called RCB which works on commercial lines and does not have a single Hyderabad player in it!? It's not even a #Hyderabad based team!" He said hordes of youngsters and revellers descended on Tank bund, NTR marg and Necklace Road (near Secretariat) and behaved in an unruly manner due to which traffic got jammed in all directions. He said seeing the situation and the hooliganism, extra forces were rushed and a lathi charge was done to disperse the unruly crowd. "From a police officer's perspective, this unannounced celebrations on the streets by large gatherings are a big danger to public safety and may lead to exactly what we saw in Bengaluru. What if there were some deaths in Hyderabad too? Can anyone expect celebrations for RCB in Hyderabad city! But with social media playing a huge role across the country and the globe, perhaps police must be alert for everyone and everything in future! Is it humanely possible to do so - is what I am wondering," Anand said. A large number of youth took to the streets in different parts of the city on Tuesday night bursting crackers and celebrating RCB's victory. The police dispersed youngsters, who assembled near the Secretariat, set off firecrackers on the roads, and "blocked" traffic, ACP (Saifabad Division) Sanjay Kumar said. "They were unruly. They were bursting firecrackers on the road and troubling others. Had we not controlled them then maybe there might have been a big issue here also," the ACP said. Videos circulating on social media showed similar scenes in Kukatpally area, where youth were seen climbing onto lorries with posters and others were dancing on the roads. As celebrations disrupted traffic movement, police dispersed the Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab Kings by six runs to lift their maiden Indian Premier League title in Ahmedabad on Tuesday night.

When Aaron Rodgers hinted at Epstein connections and Jimmy Kimmel gave him a fiery public takedown
Throwback to Jimmy Kimmel's fiery takedown of Aaron Rodgers over bizarre Epstein accusation (Getty Images0 In early 2024, late-night television and the NFL world collided in a fiery exchange after Aaron Rodgers sparked controversy with a provocative comment about Jimmy Kimmel during an episode of The Pat McAfee Show. What followed was a whirlwind of accusations, public outrage, and a stern legal warning — all centered around the unsealing of court documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Remember when Aaron Rodgers made headlines linking Jimmy Kimmel to Epstein and Kimmel fired back hard? During the January appearance on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers — the now Steelers joinee quarterback delved into conspiracy-laden territory. The discussion touched on the much-anticipated release of names linked to Epstein's notorious network, when Rodgers casually tossed out a claim that raised more than a few eyebrows. 'There's a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that (list) doesn't come out,' he remarked. With a grin, he added, 'If that list comes out, I will definitely be popping some sort of bottle.' The backlash was swift. Jimmy Kimmel Blasts Aaron Rodgers On Air After Jeffrey Epstein Claim | THR News Jimmy Kimmel, a frequent critic of Rodgers in recent years, didn't hesitate to respond. In a blistering post on X (formerly Twitter), the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host hit back with force: 'For the record, I've not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any 'list' other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can't seem to distinguish from reality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fungo nas unhas? Experimente esta noite (é genial) Acabe com o Fungo Undo " He didn't stop there. Kimmel accused Rodgers of endangering his family and warned, "Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court." Rodgers, known for his polarizing takes both on and off the field, did not issue a public response immediately. His silence, however, did little to quell the escalating tension. Caught in the crossfire, Pat McAfee tried to offer some perspective. On the following day's show, McAfee clarified Rodgers' tone while extending an olive branch of sorts. 'I can see exactly why Jimmy Kimmel felt the way he felt, especially with his position,' he said. 'But I think Aaron was just trying to talk s---. Now, did it go too far? A lot of people – Jimmy Kimmel certainly said that was the case." He wrapped up the segment with a direct apology: 'We apologize for being part of it. ' This wasn't the first chapter in the ongoing war of words between Kimmel and Rodgers. Their history traces back to 2021, when Kimmel openly criticized Rodgers for misleading the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the then-Packers quarterback claimed he was 'immunized,' though he had not received the vaccine. Kimmel didn't hold back, calling out Rodgers' disinformation on national television. The tension reignited in 2023 when Rodgers once again drew skepticism by suggesting that rising UFO chatter was being used to divert attention from Epstein's client list. 'Needless to say, all this UFO talk has the tin foil hatters going wild, including whack-Packer Aaron Rodgers,' Kimmel quipped during his monologue. "It may be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron." By January 2024, over 900 pages of documents from a settled civil suit involving Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell were unsealed, revealing more than 100 names. Yet, as many quickly noted, Jimmy Kimmel's name was not among them. Also Read: Aaron Rodgers contract details: Why the Steelers' one-year gamble could define their season and legacy
