New Delhi [India], June 30 (NT): Liquor Ticoon Vijay Mallya countered allegations of attempting a plea bargain, imposed by an Enforcement Directorate (ED) official.

Taking to twitter, Mallya denied all accusations.

"Media reports quote an ED official stating that I am attempting a plea bargain. Would respectfully suggest that the official read the ED charge sheet first. I would invite the ED to advance the same plea bargain theory in Court in front of whom I have placed my assets," he wrote in microblogging website.

The 62-year-old Mallya's retribution came after an ED official discharged the former's offer to patch up all dues if his seized assets were freed up as "an attempt at plea bargaining and a bid to bolster his case against extradition to India from Britain," according to Economic Times report.

ED official further claimed that the ED had not got any copy of the affidavit filed by Mallya and United Breweries Holdings before the Karnataka High Court last week, contrary to the businessman's claims.

Few days before Mallya broke his silence over the hullabaloo surrounding him of defaulting on bank loans to the tune of Rs 9000 crores.

The liquor tycoon in a series of tweets asserted that he had been falsely framed as the "poster boy of Bank default and a lightning rod of public anger".
