Liquor baron and founder of now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya expressed shock over media reports - reportedly based on CBI’s claim - that he might have influenced his power to get loans from banks and lenders through dubious mean.

New Delhi: Business tycoon Vijay Mallya has rejected reports that he may have used his influence with the UPA-II government to secure bank loans - that it may have otherwise been denied - for his sinking Kingfisher Airline.

Letters and emails exchanged showed how Amitabh Verma – a senior bureaucrat (former) in the finance ministry - set up meetings for Mallya with the chairpersons of various banks and get access to information that might have helped it get loans.

Sources in the CBI said the agency is "looking into the larger conspiracy of this scam."
