London: The loan defaulter Vijay Mallya faced flak when he tried to enter the Oval arena to watch India’s crucial cricket match with South Africa in the ICC Champions Trophy. Mallya, who is wanted in India for defaulting on bank loans worth Rs 9,000 crore, was in for some embarrassment when he, along with a companion, entered the stadium.
In a black trouser and a sky blue blazer, Mallya was entering through famous Sir Jack Hobbs Gate when a few supporters started shouting 'Chor, Chor ‘ and asked him to go back. One fan, in fact, started filming his entry as another shouted "Woh dekho chor jaa raha hain andar, Chor chor (Look the thief is entering the stadium)."
Mallya for a fleeting second looked back before showing his customary non-challance while making his way to the Hospitality Box. He was spotted at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, too, watching the India-Pakistan clash last Sunday. The Indian government has been desperately trying for Mallya's extradition.
