{{/usCountry}}“Once a media witch hunt starts it escalates into a raging fire where truth and facts are burnt to ashes.”
“As an Indian MP I fully respect and will comply with the law of the land. Our judicial system is sound and respected. But no trial by media.”
“Let media bosses not forget help, favours, accommodation that I have provided over several years which are documented. Now lies to gain TRP?” Television Rating Points or TRP as it is more commonly known is a sample-based index of the popularity of a particular television channel and programs broadcast by the channels.”
Mallya who is believed to have left India on March 2, however did not specify where he is currently located or about his plans to return to India.
