Vijay Mallya, the embattled tycoon wanted in India on loan defaults to several banks amounting to nearly Rs9,000-crore, on Tuesday claimed he has “enough evidence” to plead his case and dared the prosecution to prove that he has committed fraud.

“I deny all allegations that have been made and I will continue to deny them,” said the 61-year-old flamboyant boss of erstwhile Kingfisher airlines who appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court here for his extradition case hearing.
