The government today put out a clarification after it was reported that business tycoon Vijay Mallya, declared a proclaimed offender by a court in Mumbai in a money laundering case, was seen at a book launch event in London that was attended by the Indian envoy.
Asserting that the event that was attended by Mr Mallya was not hosted by the Indian High Commission, the ministry said in its statement that Indian envoy Navtej Sarna "left the stage and venue immediately after he spotted Mr Mallya in the audience. "
The event was held at the London School of Economics on Thursday. The government has said that the LSE has written to the High Commissioner saying it had not invited Mr Mallya to the event that was "advertised widely through social media and attendees were not required to register in advance."
