Mallya to be deported to India soon

As the Ministry of External Affairs has suspended the diplomatic passport of Vijay Mallya, he is likely to be deported to India soon. The step of suspension was taken by the MEA at the request of Enforcement Directorate (ED). As Mallya has failed to appear before the ED for the third time in a row, it has requested the MEA to act against his stay in UK.
ED has been probing the money laundering case where Mallya was alleged to have acquired a 900 crore loan from IDBI. He has then transferred the amount to his overseas accounts. As the CBI and ED began to tighten their investigation against Mallya, he used his diplomatic passport to fly away to UK. His absconding to UK has led the Indian government as well as the banks to face severe criticism from the common man. But now, the government seems to be taking quick and strict measures to retrace its path and rectify the harm done to its reputation.
