New Delhi: Vijay Mallya, who is fighting against his extradition to India, on Thursday, asked the government to accept his offer to repay 100 per cent of his loan dues and close case against him.
While congratulating the Indian government over the Rs 20 lakh crore economic package, Mallya lamented that his repeated offers to repay his dues have been ignored.
Mallya, promoter of the defunct Kingfisher Airlines, who is wanted in India on alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to estimated Rs 9,000 crore, added," Please take my money unconditionally and close."
In the past, Mallya had tweeted that he had offered to pay 100 per cent of the amount borrowed by Kingfisher Airlines to the banks but neither banks were willing to take the money nor the Enforcement Directorate was willing to release his attached assets at the behest of the banks.
