Liquor baron and former owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Vijay Mallya has lately been in news for all the wrong reasons. He escaped from the country after failing to pay the loans to the tunes of INR 9,000 crores taken from the PSU banks. Even before the lenders could pressurise him to seek their loans, he flew out of India to London and has been there since.

His son Siddharth Mallya, who is currently an RCB director, shared a video captured on the night of IPL 2016 final. It shows him enjoying the match with his father and some friends on a giant screen at their London residence. It is notable here that Mallya senior is still the Chief Mentor of the side.
