Indian parliament accepts Mallya's resignation
New Delhi
INDIA'S parliament on Wednesday accepted Vijay Mallya's resignation of his seat, after the embattled liquor tycoon resubmitted his letter in line with the correct procedures.
Mr Mallya had resigned from his seat in parliament's upper house - or the Rajya Sabha - on Monday but his resignation was rejected after chairman Hamid Ansari raised doubts over the veracity of his letter sent from Britain. Mr Ansari's aide, Gurdeep Singh Sappal, had posted on Twitter: "His resignation letter does not conform to prescribed procedures and does not bear signature in original."
