LONDON - Industrialist Vijay Mallya, at the centre of a controversy in India over alleged loan default of Rs.9,000 crore, has termed the charges against him as "preposterous" and said he was in "forced exile" here from which he would like to return to his country. "I'm absolutely not guilty of any of the preposterous charges of diverting funds from Kingfisher Airlines and buying properties," Mallya said in an interview to the Financial Times.
