Media in UK didn't look for me in the obvious place, says Vijay Mallya

New Delhi, Mar 14: Former liquor baron Vijay Mallya who had last week hit out at media houses in the country, on Monday took a dig at the UK media which is running from pillar to post to trace him.

Mallya on Sunday, March 13 tweeted: "I am being hunted down by media in UK. Sadly they did not look in the obvious place. I will not speak to media so don't waste your efforts."

Last week Mallya hit out at the media houses in India and said: "As an Indian MP I fully respect and will comply with the law of the land. Our judicial system is sound and respected. But no trial by media."

Mallya even said: "Let media bosses not forget help, favours, accommodation that I have provided over several years which are documented. Now lies to gain TRP ?"

"Once a media witch hunt starts it escalates into a raging fire where truth and facts are burnt to ashes," he added.

On Sunday, he said that the time was not right for his return. "I've seen the highest to the lowest points in this matter. But I hope that I return one day. India has given me everything. It made me Vijay Mallya," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Hyderabad issued a non-bailable warrant against Mallya in an alleged cheating case.
