NEW DELHI, April 21 - Armed with a non-bailable arrest warrant against him, the ED has approached the External Affairs Ministry seeking initiation of deportation proceedings against liquor baron Vijay Mallya in connection with its money laundering probe against him in the Rs 900-crore IDBI alleged loan fraud case.
The agency has written to the MEA and will also soon write to the CBI to get an Interpol Red Corner Notice issued against the Rajya Sabha MP to get him arrested, based on the NBW directed by a Mumbai court.
Only last week, the MEA had suspended Mallya�s diplomatic passport and has sought a reply from him as to why his passport should not be revoked as the ED said the businessman was not cooperating in the probe in the said case under the stringent Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). � PTI
