Three months after she was arrested and charged with visa fraud before being freed on a bail bond, Indian diplomat Dr Devyani Khobragade's motion to dismiss the United States government's indictment on the ground of her diplomatic immunity was granted on Wednesday, March 12, by a federal judge in Manhattan.
According to court documents, Dr Khobragade's conditions of bail are terminated, and her bond is exonerated. 'It is ordered that any open arrest warrants based on this indictment must be vacated,' US District Judge Shira A Scheindlin said in the ruling.
