'Wonder if I should become a cockroach': Mallya cries 'injustice' over bank dues
Mallya, who is living in London, made the remarks while responding to the legal proceedings against him and defending his position on the recovery of money owed to banks by his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He cited an Enforcement Directorate (ED) affidavit that he claimed was filed before the Bombay HC and alleged that the agency had confirmed the recovery of more than Rs 14,000 crore and its transfer to banks.

Unresolved 35% Judicial Reversal of Recovery Claim
The Bombay High Court rejects Mallya's interpretation of the ED affidavit, ruling that the claimed Rs 14,000 crore recovery is unsubstantiated or improperly documented. This would force Mallya to return to negotiations with the banks under the court's direct supervision.
