Currently out on bail, the liquor baron was spotted in VIP stand enjoying the match at Edgbaston.
The 61-year-old was arrested by the British authorities in April on India’s extradition request in connection with a Rs. 900 crore loan default case of IDBI Bank being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
He was released on bail within hours by a London court.
Mallya, whose now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines owes more than Rs. 9,000 crore, including interest to various banks, had fled India on March 2 last year.
The CBI has two cases against him–one related to the IDBI Bank case and the other related to a loan default of over Rs. 6,000 crore filed on the basis of a complaint from a State Bank of India-led consortium.
