The agency has registered a money laundering case against Mallya and others based on an FIR registered last year by the CBI. By Agencies | Posted 2 hoursThe Enforcement Direct-orate (ED) yesterday moved a special PMLA court in Mumbai seeking to declare liquor baron Vijay Mallya a proclaimed offender in connection with its money laundering probe against him in an alleged bank loan fraud case. They said the court may pronounce its order on the ED plea on June 13. Mallya had left India on March 2 using his diplomatic passport. Officials said the agency has made a plea to the court to issue an order under Section 82 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and term him a proclaimed offender, as Mallya has “multiple” arrest warrants pending against him including a non-bailable warrant (NBW) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
