On Tuesday, the 61-year-old liquor baron had claimed he has "enough evidence" to plead his case in the Rs 9,000 crore loan default case and taunted India saying, "you can keep dreaming about a billion pounds".

"I deny all allegations that have been made and I will continue to deny them," he said after appearing before the Westminster Magistrates' Court for the hearing of an extradition case against him.
Chief Magistrate Emma Louise Arbuthnot granted him bail until December 4. The next hearing has been set for July 6.

He denied media reports that he was booed by Indian cricket fans when he arrived to watch the India vs South Africa cricket match at The Oval on Sunday, saying only a "couple of drunk" people had chanted "chor, chor" (thief, thief) but there were several others who came up to him and wished him well.
