    “We are cautioning the public that buying Mallya’s shares in his subsidiary company United Racing and Bloodstock Breeders Ltd (URBBL) in the e-auction will be at their own risk because they (shares) are under our charge (custody) against outstanding demand in a tax evasion case,” IT official N Rathi said here.

    The Tribunal has put on sale 41,52,272 shares of Mallya in United Racing and Bloodstock Breeders Ltd (URBBL) through e-auction on October 30 to recover the outstanding amounts a consortium of 17 banks had lent to his now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd between 2008 and 2012.
