61-year old remanded in custody over alleged spiking at Mayfair club
Police were called to a private members bar in the early hours of Tuesday
A 61-year-old man has appeared in court accused of trying to spike a woman's drink at a private members' club in central London.
Vikas Nath, from Knightsbridge, central London, attended Westminster Magistrates' Court to face a charge of administering a substance with intent.
He was arrested at the club in the early hours of Tuesday after staff alerted police when the woman told them of the alleged attempted drugging.
It is claimed that he put the drug GBL, gamma-butyrolactone, into the woman's drink.
Nath, who did not formally enter a plea but indicated that he denies the charge, was remanded in custody to appear at Southwark Crown Court on February 14.
