A UK court on last Tuesday has asked to present a video of Arthur ROAD Jail where the Indian Authorities are planning to keep Vijay Mallya. Vijay Mallya has been proven an accused for post-extradition with Rs 9000 crore loan default case.

Judge Emma Arbuthnot asked the Indian Authorities to submit detailed video of Barrack No 12 of the prison where Vijay Mallya will be kept.

There has been a dramatic change in Vijay Mallya’s approach to Kingfisher loan default case. The liquor king has decided to surrender and return to his homeland and is behaving more co-operative. This is the same man who had previously said, “By taking my passport or arresting me, they are not getting any money.”

Of course, the reason for this change isn’t hard to understand, Mallya knows that his options are now limited with the new legislation coming to effect, which will ostracise an offender from any civil rights to make his case legal and gives the power to local authorities to attach his assets and initiate proceedings. Mallya has high chances of being declared as an economic offender.

Mallya owes estimated Rs 90 Billion to different banks. In June, a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai had summoned Mallya to appear before it on 27 August. If Mallya does not appear before the court, he risks being declared a fugitive economic offender, and properties linked to him will be confiscated.

According to the jail authorities, there’s no overcrowding in barrack 12, though it is located inside Arthur Road jail, the unit is not a part of the prison. The court was further assured that the windows in the barrack allowed enough light and air, toilets gets cleaned regularly and Mallya would have access to a western toilet with adequate washing facilities.

However, Mallya’s lawyer had objected over the availability of natural light in the cell. “How will the sun get through this huge wall,” Clare Montgomery, Mallya’s lawyer said, responding to the Indian official’s sayings that the prisons in India were as good as in any other country in the world and that prisoners’ rights were fully protected in Indian jails.
