The whole incident has been captured on camera.


Mundra wanted to welcome Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel but was refused entry by the airport officials.


Mundra, who seemed quite furious, then began arguing with the officials.


In almost a similar incident, a gutsy woman CISF officer had last month prevented Union minister Ramkripal Yadav from entering the Patna airport through the exit gate, forcing him to retreat and admit his mistake.


The Lok Sabha MP from Pataliputra was trying to enter the Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport's terminal building through the exit gate where he was stopped by the woman officer.


After a brief conversation, the officer was seen talking over a walkie-talkie before finally saying 'No' to the Minister of State for Rural Development and Drinking Water.


As TV cameras peerred over the proceedings, Yadav admitted his "mistake".


"Absolutely, it was a mistake," he said when a journalist asked him if it was right for a VIP to misuse his position like that.
