Emails with India Today incriminate Vijay Mallya before his extradition hearing, more

Contemptuously dismissive of accusations of fraud, Vijay Mallya threw a party for himself barely months before he left India under a pile of debts.

But now India Today has obtained clinching evidence that the self-proclaimed "King of Good Times" might find a bit too difficult to shrug off.

A chain of emails accessed India Today from the servers of United Spirits Limited point to his possible involvement in hoodwinking banks to promote his IPL venture, the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Incriminating notes suggest the beer-and-airline magnate and his core management might have deliberately taken away money they borrowed from SBI to fund his IPL team.
