Mr.Lalwani lit Mallya at what time she
was 3rd for the today obsolete King fisher air company in 2011. The duo have allegedly
been courting and lately famous the 3rd birthday of their association.
Mr.Liquor baron Vijay Mallya is predictable
to bond the lump through his longtime lover and previous air hostess Pinky
Lalwani. Lalwani who is much younger to
Mallya, met him when she was hired for the now-defunct Kingfisher airlines in
2011. This will reportedly be Mallya’s third marriage. His first wife was
Sameera Tyabjee and second wife (who he is still legally married to) is Rekha
Mallya, a childhood friend. He has three kids from his previous marriages, a
son named Siddharth and two daughters, Leanna and Tanya.
The duo have reportedly been dating and recently celebrated the third anniversary of their relationship. According to multiple media reports, Lalwani has been spotted frequently with Mallya’s mother at various events and has always been in good terms with his family. She has reportedly stood by his side despite their age difference and the bankruptcy scandal.
Who is Pinky Lalwani?
The 62-year-old, who is on trial at the Westminster Magistrates’
Court to rule if he can be extradited to India to face charges of fraud and
money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crores, is on bail until April 2.
At the last hearing in January, Clare Montgomery, Mallya’s
counsel, had argued that evidence that was claimed as a “blueprint of
dishonesty” by the CPS was in fact privileged conversation between Mallya and
his lawyer about “legal advice in clear contemplation of litigation” and hence
should be inadmissible. On a separate category of evidence presented by the
Indian government, Mallya’s team questioned the reliability of investigating
officers in the case and pointed to over 150 pages of “near identical material”
purporting to be statement of witnesses taken under Section 161 of the Indian
CrPC.
“They do not appear to be in any way an account of things that
witnesses would have said but rather seem to be somebody else’s analysis put
into the mouths of the witnesses, down to the spelling mistakes,” Montgomery
said, adding that the documents were “identically reproduced” with not only the
same words but also the same typing errors. After the defence has completed its
arguments, the CPS will respond against the claim of “absence of a strong prima
facie case on grounds of iniquity”.
Mallya was arrested by Scotland Yard on an extradition warrant
in April 2017 and has been out on bail on a bond worth 650,000 pounds. Chief
Magistrate Arbuthnot is expected to pronounce her verdict in the case by May
this year. If she rules in favour of the Indian government, the UK home
secretary will have two months to sign Mallya’s extradition order. However,
both sides will have the chance to appeal in higher courts in the UK against
the chief magistrate’s verdict.
