CBI's explanation as to why Vijay Mallya wasn't arrested

After Congress President Rahul Gandhi in a press conference on Thursday said that " lookout notice to restrain Mallya was diluted, CBI sources have explained as to why Vijay Mallya wasn't arrested. It also ded that re is "no immediate need to respond to Rahul Gandhi’s allegations".

As per sources, here's full chronology of events:

•   November 2015: Bureau of Immigration calls CBI to inquire wher Vijay Mallya should be arrested since a lookout circular was issued against him. As per sources say that it was an informal call that was me a day before Mallya's was to return to India.
• Mallya flies to London twice after his November trip
• December 2015: CBI questioned Vijay Mallya thrice after he returned from London
• CBI essentially conveyed to Bureau of Immigration that re was no need to arrest Mallya since he was cooperating with agency 
• As per sources, during first two trips, Mallya h informed agency about his business meetings, however, CBI was not informed about last trip after which he never returned 

A massive controversy has broken out over Vijay Mallya's claim that he h met Jaitley before fleeing India for London. On Thursday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi held a news conference in New Delhi on Thursday aiming to corner Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over statement Vijay Mallya h me in London -- regarding meeting Jaitley before fleeing from India --despite Mallya's subsequent u-turn denying that it h been a formal meeting.

While dressing news briefing along with PL Punia and Randeep Surjewala, Rahl Gandhi said:

"In government, PM decides everything. And FM listens to PM. Let Arun Jaitley say wher he let a criminal escape or wher order came from above. It can't be a coincidence. FM has mitted that Mallya told him he's going to London. And yet, FM took no action, didn't inform agencies? Why? What was reason? What was deal? re's a notice to restrain Mallya. Why is notice changed to inform, not restrain? Only PM and FM could have. FM is lying. meeting was held, logistics of Mallya leaving were discussed. Mallya was given free passage to run away. Why did you let him run away? Why didn't you stop him?".

Re: Despite Vijay Mallya's Sensational U-turn, Rahul Gandhi Says He Has Proof Of Arun Jaitley-Mallya Meeting

During press briefing, Congress President Rahul Gandhi put out two questions to BJP:

"1. How can Finance Minister have a meeting with an absconder? Why did FM of time not inform ED, CBI and Police that Mallya was going to leave for London?

2. restrain notice against Mallya -- who me it an inform notice? Only person who can control CBI can do this. If Jaitley did this, n he should say, and if order came from above, he should say". 

Immediately after Congress press briefing, BJP leer Subramanian Swamy took to Twitter and put out 'two undeniable facts' in matter related to absconding liquor baron Vijay Mallya's case:
