SBI-Led Lenders State Vijay Mallya Owes Rs 8,752 Crore Despite Recoveries
A consortium of lenders led by the State Bank of India informed the Bombay High Court that Vijay Mallya still owes approximately Rs 8,752 crore as of August, despite recovering over Rs 10,270 crore so far. This contradicts Mallya's claim that his debts have been fully settled. The Enforcement Directorate maintains that recovered funds do not affect ongoing criminal cases. The court is scheduled to hear the matter next on October 13.
