The Ministry of External Affairs conveyed a strong message to the diplomat over the alleged incident at the Indian mission, they said.
It is learnt that the Deputy Chief of the UK high commission was summoned to the MEA as high commissioner Alex Ellis is out of Delhi.
''I condemn the disgraceful acts today against the people and premises of the @HCI_London - totally unacceptable,'' Ellis tweeted.
