ED justifies seeking Interpol red corner notice against Vijay Mallya

June 12, 2016 17:16

The Enforcement Directorate has sent a detailed communication, along with legal inputs, to the Interpol which had recently sought some "clarifications" from it before notifying an arrest warrant against liquor

baron Vijay Mallya, who is wanted in a money laundering case emerging from an alleged Rs 900 crore bank loan fraud.

The agency has told Interpol that it has followed all legal procedures for seeking a Red Corner Notice against him. It has also said that orders were issued by the courts after hearing the counsels of ED and Mallya, officials said.

The ED has told the global police body that issuance of RCN against Mallya is "obligatory" on the part of Interpol as all due legal processes have been followed by Indian probe agencies to seek such a warrant against an accused to make him join probe and ensure justice to the victim (banks).
