Tagged as the first luxury mall in Kolkata, the Rs 1,400 crore multi-format Quest Mall was unveiled today in a "private party".
Soon after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee left the mall following inauguration, an RP Sanjiv Goenka group official asked reporters to leave saying, "Please go. This is a private party."
This was done despite the journalists being formally invited.
The shocked reporters were waiting to talk to senior officials about the mall after performance of famous French pianist Richard Clayderman.
