Vijay Mallya claims to have met Finance Minister Arun Jaitley before leaving India

Vijay Mallya claimed that he had met the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley before leaving India to settle matters. "I met the finance minister to settle matters before I left. The banks had filed objections to my settlement letters," he said outside the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London. Jaitley, however, rubbished Mallya's statement, saying he never gave him an appointment since 2014 but the fugitive liquor baron misused his position as Rajya Sabha MP to accost him in Parliament.
