Expel Mallya, recommends Rajya Sabha panel

May 03, 2016 17:20

Rajya Sabha Ethics Committee recommends the expulsion of Vijay Mallya.

Mallya, who faces a case of loan default of over Rs 9,400 crore, resigned from the Rajya Sabha Monday, a day before the Ethics Committee of the House was expected to recommend his disqualification.

The Ethics Committee move had only symbolic value, as the liquor baron had less than two months of his six-year tenure left. He had been elected from Karnataka for a second time.

Rajya Sabha chairman Hamid Ansari will decide on Mallya's resignation.
