Subramanian Swamy says order to downgrade Mallya notice came from finance ministry
New Delhi : It's an "undeniable fact" that Vijay Mallya told Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament that he was leaving for London, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy said today.
Another such fact, according to Swamy: That a lookout notice was "diluted on [October] 24, 2015 from 'Block' to 'Report' departure, enabling Mallya to depart with 54 checked luggage items".
We have now two undeniable facts on the Mallya escape issue: 1. Look Out Notice was diluted on Oct 24, 2015 from “Block” to “Report” departure enabling Mallya to depart with 54 checked luggage items. 2. Mallya told FM in Central Hall of Parliament that he was leaving for London.

Swamy said he learned from "sources" that the lookout notice was downgraded on the orders of "someone" in the Ministry of Finance.
I learn from my sources that the Lookout Notice issued by CBI for Mallya was modified from “Block Departure” to “Report Departure” on October 24, 2015 on orders from someone in MoF. Who?

Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi asked why Swamy was just tweeting, and said he was duty-bound to "reveal and report".
'NO POINT TALKING TO ME'
Yesterday, Mallya told reporters in London that he met Jaitley before he left India. The former liquor baron later said he never met Jaitley formally.
Jaitley, on his part, said Mallya used his privilege as a Rajya Sabha member and accosted him in the corridor of Parliament.
"He paced up to catch up with me and while walking uttered a sentence that 'I am making an offer of settlement'," he said. "Having been fully briefed about his earlier 'bluff offers', without allowing him to proceed with the conversation, I curtly told him 'there was no point talking to me and he must make offers to his bankers'."
"I did not even receive the papers that he was holding in his hand."
PL Punia, a Congress party spokesperon, said Jaitley was "lying". "I saw him having [a] prolonged meeting in Central Hall of Parliament about two days before he [Mallya] was allowed to escape from India," he said.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi said Mallya's "allegations" were "extremely serious".
"The PM should immediately order an independent probe into the matter. Arun Jaitley should step down as finance Minister while this probe is underway," he tweeted.

Speech-impaired minor tribal girl found dead near railway tracks in Karnataka's Ramanagara
Bengaluru, May 14 (PTI): A minor tribal girl, who was speech-impaired, was found dead near railway tracks in the Ramanagara district on Wednesday, police said.
Police suspect that the 15-year-old girl from the Hakkipikki tribe was "raped and murdered", and a case has been registered at the Bidadi police station.
Police said the girl went missing on the evening of May 11. Her family searched for her, and on May 12, they were informed that her body was found near railway tracks in Bhadrapura, Bidadi Taluk.
Ramanagara Superintendent of Police Srinivas Gowda said, "We found no mutilation on the body. However, we cannot rule out any possibilities. We are investigating thoroughly and await the forensic report to conclude."
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar visited the girl’s family and offered condolences.
Later, he told reporters that there were injury marks on the girl’s head.
"She had returned home from the hostel. I have spoken to her mother and sister. We must ensure they receive justice," he added.
Shivakumar stressed the need for a thorough police investigation and assured that compensation would be given to the girl’s mother.
In a post on 'X', the Janata Dal (Secular) party alleged that the rising number of such cases in the state indicates "deteriorating law and order."
