New Delhi:

The Uttar Pradesh CJM court in Bulandshahar has ordered an FIR against Vijay Mallya after an ex-Kingfisher Airlines pilot filed a case against him over pending salary dues. Earlier of Friday, it was reported that External Affairs Ministry is consulting legal experts to explore the option of deportation of Vijay Mallya in connection with money laundering probe against the liquor baron in the Rs 900 crore IDBI alleged loan fraud case after ED has approached it.

On revocation of the passport of Mallya, whose Kingfisher Airlines has allegedly defaulted on loans of over Rs 9,400 crores, the ministry, which has "suspended" his passport, said it was examining the reply sent by him while declining to divulge its contents.

Noting that the ministry has been approached by the Enforcement Directorate which informed about the non-bailable arrest warrant issued against Mallya by a Sessions Court in Greater Mumbai, MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said a request has been made to initiate steps for the deportation of Mallya to ensure his presence before the lawful authorities to proceed with investigation against him.

Now "we are consulting legal experts," he said. He said ED has approached MEA forboth revocation of Mallya's passport and his deportation. "Those two actions are underway," he said.
