ED may revoke Vijay Mallya's passport

New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate (ED) is mulling "appropriate" action against liqour baron Vijay Mallya, including getting his passport revoked, after he failed to appear before it despite being summoned thrice in connection with a money laundering probe in the over Rs 900 crore IDBI loan fraud case.
Officials said an "appropriate" action will be taken to take the probe forward in the case.
It is understood that the central probe agency may either move a competent court in Mumbai to get a non-bailable warrant issued against him or write to the passport authority under the Ministry of External Affairs to get his international travel authority document revoked.
ED's zonal office in Mumbai, they said, is preparing legal papers to take the next step in the wake of Mallya skipping the third summons that required him to "personally" join investigations on April 9.
