A court in Bulandshahr has ordered the city police to register a case of alleged cheating under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code against Kingfisher Airlines owner Vijay Mallya.
The order by Chief Judicial Magistrate Nupur on Friday came on a complainant by an AirAsia pilot Akash Sharma. Sharma, a resident of Bulandshahr, told the court that he had served Kingfisher Airlines as a pilot from 2010 to 2012 and the airline owed him Rs 9 lakh.
The amount accrued on account of TDS was deducted from Akash's salary but not deposited with the Income Tax Department by the accused, Sharma alleged adding this amounted to cheating.
