New Delhi: When the bad times came upon Kingfisher, its founder — the king of good times Vijay Mallya — was nowhere to be seen or heard.
All his personal staff was willing to say was that "VJM (his nickname) is abroad", while employees were speculating him to be in London.
While the aviation ministry had made it very clear in the past few days that it will get DGCA to suspend KFA's licence, Mallya did not come calling on either aviation minister Ajit Singh or his powerful aide Prabhat Kumar to avert this fate. "VJM left India about 20 days back on his personal plane. He travels on his personal jet, VT-VJM, and as of now there is no news of his coming back to the country," said sources.
Employees keeping track of VJM say he was last 'spotted' at South Korea's Yeongam attending the Korean Grand Prix. The F-1 team co-owned by him and Sahara India was participating there.
