Fugitive Vijay Mallya's Return Explained Through These Viral Instagram Reels
Last Updated: Vijay Mallya, the former owner of RCB, Kingfisher Airlines, and Force India F1 team, facing charges of fraud and money laundering, spilled beans on Raj Shamani's podcast. Vijay Mallya, the former Royal Challengers Bangalore owner and Kingfisher Airlines founder, made a sensational appearance on entrepreneur Raj Shamani's podcast to clear the air of mystery that has enveloped the Indian fugitive businessman since the last nine years or so. Mallya's return to public's consciousness was a lengthy one, though. 4 hours, 18 minutes, and 48 seconds. For context, Lagaan had a running time of 233 minutes or about 3 hours and 44 minutes. Mallya spoke about his favourite cars, how he had repaid loans, why he should be called fugitive and not a 'chor", how Kingfisher got its iconic tune, why he was villainised by Indian media, among many other revelations. In today's day and age of doom scrolling and lack of attention span, sitting through 4 hours of Mallya is no easy feat. We have gone through top news headlines, watched clipped Instagram reels, and glanced over social media to present you a condensed version of Mallya's podcast. Here goes: RCB Win The liquor baron, facing charges of fraud and money laundering, speaks up for the first time after his former team Royal Challengers Bangalore break their 18-year-long curse by lifting their maiden IPL trophy. After RCB's triumph, an 'X' user called Mallya Karnataka and India's greatest sons while defending the fugitive. Responding to the viral post, Mallya wrote: 'Many thanks. You are one of the very few who are knowledgeable and state facts. True that the Banks have recovered Rs 14,100 crores from me against the Judgement debt of Rs 6204 crores. There are no criminal charges against me other than for bounced cheques which I did not even sign ! The Government prosecutors place vicarious responsibility on me. But when much more than the debt stands recovered, what remains !!" Harsh Goenka Defends RPG Group chairperson Harsh Goenka took to 'X' and quizzed why Mallya had become the scapegoat despite reportedly repaying the loans while other loan defaulters weren't meted with similar scrutiny. 'Vijay Mallya lived the high life, yes. Defaulted, yes. Unlike most others, his ₹9,000+ crore dues are now reportedly settled. Meanwhile, bigger defaulters walk free with much fatter haircuts from banks. If dues remain, the banks should clearly say so. If not, why is he still a political punching bag? Justice must be fair, not selective," Goenka wrote. Podcast Clips Titled 'Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB", Raj Shamani invited Mallya over his studio for a podcast. The video, 4 hours and 18 minutes long, has already been viewed over 3.5 million times. Here are a few highlights from the episode that were clipped and uploaded as Instagram reels: Why After 9 Years? Upon being asked why he chose to speak after nine years and Shamani's podcast as a platform, Mallya said: 'I didn't even know that a podcast exist. Let alone understanding what a podcast really meant, until you told me. Explained it to me in a manner that I got quite excited about it because here is my opportunity to not only answer your questio s but to say things that I truly feel would never ever have been truthfully reported by the legacy media particularly in India. Why Virat Kohli? When quizzed about why he picked Virat Kohli for RCB at such a young age, Mallya said: 'Shortly before the actual selection process, they were playing the U-19 World Cup, and I was very impressed and I picked him. And you know it's wonderful, 18 years later, he's still there. He was a young kid at that time when I got him. Full of energy, great talent, and one of the greatest Indian cricketers ever." Force India F1 Why did he choose to name the racing team of F1 as 'Force India"? The former co-founder of the F1 team revealed: 'I could have easily named it Mallya Formula 1 like Williams Formula 1. I wanted the Indian flag to be on the grid. I wanted the world to know that the team with roots in India of all countries was at the pinnacle of motorsport and that is why I called it Force India." Message To Kingfisher Airlines Ex-Employees 'I would say I am deeply sorry for what happened to them. I am deeply sorry that some of them didn't get paid their salaries. I have no excuses to offer. I take full responsibility. But to those who care to listen, there was money lying in deposit with the Karnataka high court. I specifically applied to court to pay the salaries of Kingfisher Airlines staff. The banks objected and the court refused," Mallya said. Kingfisher Airlines was grounded in October of 2012 after Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) cancelled its license owing to operational issues and financial woes. 'Actual Loan" top videos View all Mallya claimed that Rs 14,100 crore from him were recovered against his reported debt of Rs 6,203 crore. Presenting the purported 'recovery certificate" to Shamani, Mallya said: 'It says the recovery certificate Rs 6203 crores 35 lakhs 3879 and paisa 42 only. That is the evidence of the debt. Where did this Rs 9000 crore figure come from?" Get Latest Updates on Movies, Breaking News On India, World, Live Cricket Scores, And Stock Market Updates.

One lakh plants damaged: RCB fan frenzy at Vidhana Soudha leaves Cubbon Park devastated
By Prathikaa V Shastry BENGALURU: The RCB fan frenzy in front of Vidhana Soudha Wednesday left parts of the sprawling Cubbon Park (officially known as Sri Chamarajendra Park) completely damaged and vandalised. With close to 2 lakh cricket fans descending on Ambedkar Veedhi to catch a glimpse of their favourite cricketers, several youngsters perched on top of trees and iron railings of the garden compound, resulting in considerable damage to the plants and the park's infrastructure. According to horticulture department officials, the fans not only stomped on the well-manicured lawns of Vidhana Soudha and the high court but also damaged close to one lakh saplings, bushes, trees, and annuals such as marigold, petunias, and hibiscus, which were either broken or completely damaged in Cubbon Park. Besides, the zealous fans, to get the best view of their stars, tried standing on topiary structures at Vidhana Soudha and the high court garden, leaving them completely broken and damaged. G Kusuma, deputy director of horticulture (Cubbon Park), revealed that 70-75 topiary structures were damaged beyond repair and required complete replacement. "We kept these topiaries along the median and within the gardens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 99 Tips for Your Retirement Once Your Portfolio Reaches £250,000 Fisher Investments UK Undo All of them have been damaged. Apart from this, the iron railing barricade measuring 2-3ft around the garden has also been broken at some places," she pointed out. To make the iconic street resplendent with vibrant colours, the horticulture department raised special gardens and curated lawns over the last two years as an extended part of Cubbon Park. "The garden was not just about the lawn but had various plants of several species, including annuals, shrubs, small ornamental plants, and trees. All of them have been damaged, and we have to raise them afresh. We tried convincing a couple of fans who were sitting precariously on branches of delicate trees, but none of them was in any mood to listen to us. Several branches have also been broken due to the weight of the fans," explained another official of Cubbon Park. When TOI visited the lawns a day after the incident, it was all laid bare, and in some corners, the grass was flattened. The compost and humus-rich soil had become hard, making it tough for the gardeners to replant. While the plants were crushed and trampled, some parts of the irrigation sprinkler system were also broken and damaged by the crowd. Even though the horticulture officials are yet to estimate the extent of the damage, officials revealed that they may require about Rs 25 lakh to regenerate the entire garden again.

‘In celebrating RCB, it's appalling how government has played to gallery'
'In celebrating RCB, it's appalling how government has played to gallery' (Photo: PTI) In a state steeped in sporting legacy, few milestones have been celebrated like Royal Challengers Bengaluru's maiden title triumph in the Indian Premier League . It's unlikely to be forgotten in a hurry either, given the tragedy that unfolded ahead of what should have been a celebration at M Chinnaswamy Stadium Wednesday evening. Amidst the triumph in Ahmedabad and the disaster that followed in Bengaluru, an aspect that has not gone unnoticed by sportspersons is the role of the state govt. Led by the chief minister himself, cabinet members, elected representatives and brass of the state machinery fawned over RCB's players — Virat Kohli especially — at a specially arranged felicitation function at Vidhana Soudha. Where was this enthusiasm, sportspersons ask, when teams and athletes brought international laurels to the state in the past? The IPL, they point out, is only a domestic tournament. 'When was the last time you saw a deputy chief minister of Karnataka carrying a private team's flag and going to the airport to welcome them?' asked a former Indian cricketer who did not want to be named for obvious reasons. 'Have any of them posted goodluck messages or donned team colours before a major event? If that was not enough, the entire state machinery turned up on the steps of Vidhana Soudha to greet and fete RCB's players. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo It's appalling how the govt has played to the gallery.' They say the govt's largesse to RCB is a luxury that has not been accorded to champions in other tournaments. And the sentiment has remained the same across parties and with successive govts. 'Even when we won the Ranji Trophy a few years ago, we had to wait for days to get an appointment with the CM. It was disappointing because Ranji Trophy is considered the pinnacle of domestic cricket,' said another former cricketer. Olympians and international athletes of other disciplines echoed similar sentiments. 'For us from other sports who have excelled, we must make repeated requests to the CM's office to grant us an audience. When that happens, it is usually hurried affair at his home-office or in his chamber at Vidhana Soudha. It's seen more as a photoop,' said a hockey Olympian. A member of the chess community recalled how cash strapped Karnataka chess grandmaster MS Thejkumar was given a purse of Rs 10 lakh in 2019 — two years after he was promised the reward. This, when they wasted no time in handing badminton ace PV Sindhu a Rs 5 lakh cheque days after she won the women's singles World Badminton Championship title. In 2023, then CM Basavaraj Bommai skipped a felicitation function organised for the state football team when they won the Santosh Trophy after 54 years. A week later, he made players wait outside his house for over 90 minutes before posing for pictures. 'We are happy that RCB finally won the cup and are heartbroken with the tragedy that followed, but the callous attitude of those at the helm continue to make us wonder: Are we really valued?' said an international star.
