Pramod Mittal, who is known for being the UK's biggest bankrupt, is now accused of secretly diverting around $82.64 million (£63 million) to his family rather than paying his company's debts, The Times reported on Friday. He is the younger brother of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

He filed for bankruptcy in a London court in June 2020 after his financial troubles stemmed from massive debts, including around $169 million owed to creditors. Seven years before, in 2013, Pramod grabbed attention globally when he hosted a lavish wedding ceremony for his daughter. At that time, it was considered to be the world's most expensive wedding, costing around $65.50.

In London, Mittal lives in a palatial home in Mayfair, central London. But he claims to have debts of £2.7 billion. Now, the 68-year-old Mittal, his wife and his children are being sued at the High Court in London by one of his former companies, which claims it is owed $216 million.
