Hoping to get clarity in the molestation case filed by two Nepali women against a Saudi diplomat, sources say that the Gurgaon police have asked for the diplomat to be questioned.
The External Affairs Ministry (MEA) has maintained the accused diplomat is still in India but he has fled from Gurgaon. The Gurgaon police wants permission to speak to the diplomat and his wife.
The two Nepali women who were allegedly raped and tortured in the diplomat's house have left India but have agreed to join the probe whenever required.
Meanwhile, India has asked Saudi Arabia to cooperate in the investigation against its Delhi-based diplomat. Saudi Ambassador Saud Mohammed Alsati was called in by the External Affairs Ministry and told that the Haryana police is seeking cooperation in the case, a day after the ministry received a report about the case from police.
Gurgaon Police on Wednesday night had sent a "detailed" report to the ministry on their investigation into the case. The report was sent hours after a second medical examination of the two women confirmed rape and sodomy, said Rajesh Chechi, ACP (Crime) of Gurgaon Police.
The Saudi Embassy had issued a statement terming the allegations "false" and said it has protested the police "intrusion" into a diplomat's house against "all diplomatic conventions".
The Saudi Ambassador along with some embassy officials had also met senior MEA officials on Wednesday to register their protest.
A group of women rights activists held a protest outside Saudi Embassy demanding action against the diplomat. They demanded that no diplomatic immunity be extended to him.
