Former liquor magnate Vijay Mallya, embroiled in money laundering allegations, has launched a social media campaign against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) accusing them of orchestrating a "character assassination" without providing a fair trial. Mallya, who is currently facing prosecution for alleged bank fraud, claimed that his assets, worth over Rs 14,131 crores, have been released to the State Bank of India (SBI) despite his liability of Rs 6,203 crores.
He posted on September 11, 2026, stating, "for those who want to know the truth, I will slowly reveal all the lies and false charges concocted by the CBI and ED who are masters of deception." Mallya also criticized the ED's actions in a money laundering probe linked to the Karnataka Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi, alleging that the agencies were engaging in public character assassination.
He further tagged a press release shared by ED following raids at Jarkiholi's premises between September 9 and September 10, emphasizing that there was no chargesheet or trial - only a public character assassination.
