Manshika Prasad, 24 , was crowned Miss Fiji on Friday night .
The MBA student was told she would not be travelling to Mexico to compete for the Miss Universe title.
Instead, runner-up Nadine Roberts , a 30-year-old model and property developer from Sydney , would take her place.
A press release alleged the "correct procedures" had not been followed, and a rigged vote favoured a " Fiji Indian " contestant.
Miss Universe is a multi-million-dollar business which operates like a franchise.
Lux Projects bought a licence which enables you to use the brand and sell tickets for the event.
Fiji hasn’t entered a contestant since 1981 .
But this year , Lux Projects was willing to buy the licence - and was unhappy with the outcome of the vote.
It said the licensee should also get a vote - one which the contracted organiser had “failed to count”.
Miss Universe Organization has not responded to a request for comment, but the BBC understands it is extremely unhappy with the events in Fiji .
