Supreme Court holds liquor barron Vijay Mallya guilty of contempt

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday held Vijay Mallya in contempt, ordering the liquor baron, who fled to the UK last year, to appear before it on July 10. To his legal troubles, Mallya faces six months in jail if India is successfully able to extradite him.

The banks had also urged the court to direct him to bring back $40 million, which Mallya allegedly transferred to his son.
