Centre to take all steps to ensure Vijay Mallya's extradition and trial : Venkiah Naidu
Naidu also ensured that the Government would put a pressure on UK Government to ensure Mallya's return free from all legal hassles.
Mallya had left the country on March 2 last year and has been living in the US since then.
He owes about Rs 10,000 crore to a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India. The money was taken as loan for the now-defunct KingFisher Airlines, of which Mallya was the Chairman.
Mallya is wanted by CBI and Enforcement directorate in the loan default case.
He was declared a wilful defaulter in 2016 for not being able to re-pay a sum related to Kingfisher Airlines that was grounded in 2012.
