Video showing Vijay Mallya watching IPL final goes viral

New Delhi: Industrialist Vijay Mallya, wanted by investigating agencies for alleged financial fraud, enjoyed watching from London the Indian Premier League (IPL) final between his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.

A video posted on Facebook by his son Siddharth Mallya (Sid) showing the father-son duo enjoying the cricket match has gone viral. Sunrisers Hyderabad won the final.

In the video, making a brief appearance with his son, Mallya, on whose name the Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have sought Red Corner notice from Interpol, is also heard exhorting his team Royal Challengers Bangalore.

"Go RCB," says Mallya, sporting his trademark goatee and appearing in a joyful mood, in the video. He is seen along with his son and other acquaintances in the video.

His son appearing in the footage says, "Here we go, time for the final. Very very excited, just had the most amazing result in Formula one. It doesn't get better than that. Here we are...together watching from London. Hopefully we can add to what has been an epic day of sports so far."

Responding to his son's request: "Say something papa; wish the team" -- Mallya obliges and says, "Go RCB".

The CBI had on May 12 forwarded an Enforcement Directorate letter to Interpol seeking issuance of a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against the liquor baron after Britain declined India's request to deport the businessman.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said recently that the government will use all options available to bring the beleaguered liquor baron back to the country.

The industrialist's passport was revoked in April after he failed to turn up for a probe into a Rs 9,000 crore default of loans from Indian banks.

The revocation of passport came after Mallya ignored at least three summons from the ED.

Manchester United to do everything to get Rashford ready for Liverpool clash

Leeds [UK], Jan 16 (ANI): Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said they will do 'everything' they can to get Marcus Rashford in shape for the Liverpool clash. Rashford sustained a back injury on Thursday during the FA Cup clash against Wolves on Thursday and left the field. "He's a quick healer and he'll play through some pain, definitely, if he's capable, if it's not a bad, bad injury. But we've seen that he's struggled lately - but more when he's been tired," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added. Manchester United secured a 1-0 win against Wolves with the help of Juan Mata's strike. Manchester United will take on Liverpool in Premier L...
