He stated that he could not appear to the summons of the police as he is currently out of country for professional purposes. He was busy touring around and conducting concerts dedicated to the victims of the Chennai flood.
Here is an excerpt from the letter,” I was in Canada and now I have traveled to London relating to my work. So, I am not able to personal appear before the police station and I will return to India by the second week of January and I assure that I will appear before the police as soon as I get back to India.”
About his involvement in the making of the beep song, he said,,”I am being dragged into this issue by some unscrupulous party who has intended to tarnish my reputation in the music industry.
