General Manoj Naravane (retd.) on Memoir Row: “No Copies Were in Circulation”, Cites Publisher

General Manoj Naravane (retd.) has addressed the controversy surrounding his unpublished memoir, stating that “no copies were in circulation in any form whatsoever”, citing a clarification by Penguin Random House. He added that he is “not in a position to comment on where that copy might have surfaced from”. His remarks focus on the publisher’s position and the absence of authorised copies. The response comes amid wider public discussion over the alleged leak, with questions persisting about how excerpts appeared, even as no official distribution of the memoir had taken place.
