Vijay Mallya sentenced to four months in jail, fined Rs 2,000 for contempt of court

Supreme Court on Monday sentenced fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya to a four-month prison term and imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 after he was found guilty of contempt of court back in 2017, where he withheld information about transferring $40 million to his children’s accounts in clear violation of the court’s orders, news agency ANI reported. The top court has asked Mallya to deposit the amount with interest, failing which, his properties will be attached.
