Vijay Mallya ‘overwhelmed' by podcast gaining 2 crore views, says ‘fills my heart with joy, factual story being heard…'
Vijay Mallya, the former owner of 2025 IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, has reacted to the reception of his extensive podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani. The podcast, titled 'Vijay Mallya Podcast: Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB', has so far garnered 2 crore views on YouTube, besides multiple clips being shared on other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. In a post on X on June 10, Vijay Mallya wrote: 'To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel.' 'A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4 hour plus podcast with @rajshamani 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fills my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May god bless you all. (sic)' he added. Liquor baron Vijay Mallya, fled India in 2016 after being accused in a bank loan default case of over ₹ 9,000 crore. During the podcast he denied all allegations and issued a rare apology to his former employees while reflecting on the fall of Kingfisher Airlines. He also spoke at length about his first media appearance in nine years, the rise and collapse of Kingfisher, and how he founded the IPL franchise team RCB. When asked by when Shamani, 'Would you be willing to return to country if you are assured fair time'. The fugitive responded, 'If I am assured, Absolutely I will. I will think about it seriously.' On the allegations of financial misconduct, Vijay Mallya said, 'You may call me a fugitive for not going to India post March, but I didn't run away. I flew on a prescheduled visit. Fair enough, I didn't return for reasons that I consider are valid… so if you want to call me a fugitive, go ahead. But where is the 'chor' (thief) coming from? Where is the 'chori' (theft)? From where is the 'chor' [thief] comming from? Where is 'chori' [theft]?' Vijay Mallya lives in Britain at present, and has been embroiled in a long legal battle with lenders – as well as the Indian authorities – following the 2012 collapse of his defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He is accused of defrauding a consortium of Indian banks of over ₹ 9,000 crore (approximately $1.2 billion), primarily through loans granted to Kingfisher Airlines. In February, Mallya informed the Karnataka High Court that the ₹ 6,200 crore debt he owes to the banks has been recovered 'multiple times over,' and requested a detailed statement of accounts showing the amounts recovered from him, his liquidated company United Breweries, and other certificate debtors.

Video shows man pinned down at Newark airport, Indian consulate in touch with US authorities
The Indian Consulate in New York said they have gotten in touch with authorities in the United States after videos purportedly showing 'an Indian student' being handcuffed and pinned to the floor at the Newark airport came to light on Sunday night. Posted on X by an Indian-American entrepreneur, Kunal Jain, the videos and photographs showed an unidentified young individual handcuffed and crying at the airport. Jain, who tagged the Indian Embassy in Washington DC and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in his series of posts, said he was speaking in 'Haryanvi language and accent' and was pleading that the authorities were bent upon declaring him mentally unfit. Taking cognisance of this, the Indian Consulate in New York said on Monday evening, 'We have come across social media posts claiming that an Indian national is facing difficulties at Newark Liberty International Airport. We are in touch with local authorities in this regard.' The Consulate remains committed to the welfare of Indian nationals, they said. According to Jain, who said he witnessed the event firsthand, the young man appeared to be in distress and was crying as the Port Authority Police officers restrained him. There is no confirmation if the said individual has left Newark or has arrived in India, as per those aware of the matter. Authorities are presently trying to ascertain the date and time of the video, and the identity of the said individual, they said. Calling it a human tragedy, Jain wrote on X, 'I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night — handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken.' Photographs and video clips shared by Jain show the young man being restrained by officers from the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD), the agency responsible for law enforcement across major transport hubs in New York and New Jersey. A call made by The Indian Express to Port Authority Police Department at Newark International Airport didn't elicit any details, except for the officer saying that 'the PAPD doesn't get involved in deportations'.

Punjab: YouTuber Jasbir sent to judicial custody in spying case
The district court here on Monday sent YouTuber Jasbir Singh (41) to judicial custody after his two-day police remand ended. Singh was arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan on June 4. He was produced in the Mohali court and the state special operations cell (SSOC) chose not to seek an extension of his police remand. Consequently, the court ordered that Jasbir be lodged in Rupnagar jail. His counsel Mohit Dhupar said Jasbir will be produced in court again on June 23. Jasbir's cousin Purushottam Singh said his brother was innocent and had been falsely implicated. 'He is fully cooperating with the police investigation. The family plans to challenge the arrest in court in the coming days,' he said. Earlier, Jasbir was quizzed during his five-day police remand. The SSOC also interrogated a 32-year-old woman from Jalandhar, a close acquaintance of Jasbir, whose name surfaced during the investigation. She was summoned and questioned for several hours on Sunday. According to an official, privy to the probe, the woman disclosed that Jasbir had taken her to Delhi three to four times and introduced her to several individuals. 'She accompanied him for Pakistan Day celebrations, an event typically open for only those with digital invitations. Jasbir reportedly gained entry to the event through his close ties with an individual named Danish and brought the woman along,' the official said, pleading anonymity. Notably, India had expelled Pakistani diplomat Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, last month for espionage activities. Police have also started examining the woman's phone and social media accounts as part of the investigation. It was discovered that Jasbir had been providing her with financial assistance over an extended period. Authorities are now working to determine the source of this funding and under whose instructions it was provided, an official added. A forensic examination of Jasbir's laptop revealed that an ISI agent, believed to be acting as a contact or informant, had downloaded three to four applications on it. Following the arrest of another accused, Jyoti Malhotra, Jasbir reportedly deleted several applications from his device. The forensic team is currently attempting to recover the deleted data to identify the nature of these applications and their possible links to espionage activities. The SSOC believes that recovering the deleted data and further analysing the communications could lead to major breakthroughs in the case. The investigation is ongoing. An FIR against Jasbir has been registered under Section 152 (threatening India's sovereignty, unity, integrity) and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act at Police Station SSOC, Mohali.
