The Air Sahara magnate, Subrata Roy, has apparently fallen ill and disappeared from public view:
One [rumor] says that an entire floor of a super deluxe hotel was recently bought by Sahara in Mumbai (Bombay) and converted into a make shift hospital… the blood pressure of the Sahara boss has fluctuated frequently… He said the Sahara chief was now leading a much more disciplined and orderly life - even doing yoga and regular exercises…
Roy has Mughal tendencies:
He has a fleet of private jets and helicopters and one of his mansions is modelled on the White House. Another residence - located in a private city he has built at the cost of tens of millions of dollars - is a replica of Buckingham Palace.
He commands a swarm of worker bees which is almost as large as the standing army of the United States and almost three times as large as IBM:
… [with] 900,000 employees - Sahara is India’s biggest private sector employer…
The rumor mill has reached Jacksonesque proportions with a petition of habeas corpus filed:
A habeas corpus petition, claiming that Sahara group Chairman Subrata Roy had been kept in ‘illegal detention’ by his wife and some other senior officers of the company, was filed with the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court on Monday.
Other rumors:
According to Sahara group insiders, Roy was resting in the Sahara group’s Amby Valley - a 10,000-acre resort-style getaway - a few hours drive from Mumbai.
Maybe Roy’s chillin’ with Amby Valley fans Michael Douglas and Christina Aguilera. Billionaire disappears into private valley — could it be Galt’s Gulch?
