MUMBAI (Reuters) - Businessman Vijay Mallya was arrested in London, news channels CNN NEWS18 and Times Now reported on Tuesday afternoon.
India had applied to Britain to extradite Vijay Mallya to face trial after the liquor and aviation tycoon was charged with conspiracy and fraud over a loan to his defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
No further details were immediately available and Reuters was not able to independently verify the reports.
An India-based spokesman for Mallya's UB Group did not offer an immediate comment.
