Mumbai, Apr 13 (IBNS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought revocation of liquor baron Vijay Mallya's passport on Wednesday after he failed to appear before the Directorate despite being summoned thrice in connection with the over Rs 900 crore IDBI loan fraud case, according to media reports.
Earlier, last week, Mallya had informed ED that he will not be able to appear in person owing to ongoing legal proceedings at the Indian Supreme Court but his legal team will meet ED.
This is the third time that Malltya, chairman of the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines for which he had taken huge bank loans, misses a meeting with the ED, which is probing the case.
ED had issued notices to Mallya asking him to appear on April 9 following the two extensions given to him from the earlier dates of March 18 and April 2. according to reports.
