Vijay Mallya set to lose Rajya Sabha membership; one-week notice given

After long discussions held over the Vijay Mallya case, the Ethics Committee on 25 April reached the conclusion that Mallya's Rajya Sabha membership should be cancelled.

"Ethics Committee meeting reached the conclusion that Vijay Mallya's RS membership should be cancelled," said lawmaker Karan Singh. 

The committee had taken up the issue as Mallya is facing legal proceedings for alleged loan defaults by his group to the tune of over Rs 9,000 crore. 

As per rules, the Committee oversees the moral and ethical conduct of  members. It examines cases concerning the alleged breach of Code of Conduct by members as also cases concerning allegations of any other ethical misconduct of members.
