He left India in 2010 after the Enforcement Directorate pursued several cases against him, related to money laundering, bid manipulation and violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). Vijay Mallya, on the other hand, left India in 2016 amid mounting debts and allegations of fraud.
