Vijay Mallya faces backlash over bizarre excuse for staying away from India
Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya is facing mockery online after offering a strange explanation for why he hasn't returned to India. Mallya stated, "For all who say I'm a 'bhagoda' (fugitive)...please be aware that I've been a permanent resident of UK since 1992 and am currently legally prohibited from leaving this country." One user on X poked fun at the situation, commenting, "Bro turned a financial scandal into a permanent vacation."
