“Vijay Mallya lived the high life, yes. Defaulted, yes. Unlike most others, his 9,000+ crore dues are now reportedly settled,” Harsh Goenka wrote.

He added, “Meanwhile, bigger defaulters walk free with much fatter haircuts from banks. If dues remain, the banks should clearly say so. If not, why is he still a political punching bag? Justice must be fair, not selective.”

How did Vijay Mallya react?

The former owner of Kingfisher Airlines and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) wrote, “Thank you Harsh. The Union Finance Ministry has confirmed in writing that Banks have recovered 14,100 crores from me against a DRT judgement debt of 6,203 crores. Why the blatant discrimination?” Following this, Goenka responded with a folded hands emoticon.

Social media is divided:

While some supported Goenka’s post, others had questions about the allegations against Mallya. One individual asked, “If true, then what's stopping Vijay Mallya from returning to India?”

Another remarked, “I agree. I read that he has cleared all dues.” A third commented, “Repaying dues doesn’t erase Mallya’s crimes— 900Cr IDBI loan fraud, money laundering, & fleeing justice in 2016. CBI says he bought 330Cr properties while Kingfisher bled. Justice isn’t selective; it’s incomplete until he faces court for his actions, not just his debts.” A fourth wrote, “He should face the law of the land.”
