Not a gate crasher, says Mallya over London event row
New Delhi, June 19: A day after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Vijay Mallya was not on the list of invitees for a book launch event in London that was attended by Indian High Commissioner Navtej Sarna, the liqour baron said he was not a "gate crasher".
"I am not a gatecrasher and will never be... never gatecrashed in my life," Mallya posted on Twitter.
On spotting Mallya seated in the back row of the hall, Indian High Commissioner Navtej Sarna walked out of the ceremony.
"I went for my friend -- the author. Sat quietly with my daughter and listened. Headline news and unfounded speculation followed," he added.
"No evidence, No charge sheet. Before claiming all this, should I not be given a chance to pursue my legal remedies? Most unfair," Mallya tweeted.
"What is happening to me is unprecedented," he added.
