Put aside doubts on marines' trial: Khurshid to Italy

April 26, 2013 17:30

Seeking to re-assure Italy, India today said any doubts on Italian marines being put on trial for committing a terror act should be set aside as the NIA is just one agency available to the government for investigating the case of killing of two Indian fishermen in high seas.

External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said he would read the assignment of the task to the NIA, not through the NIA Act but by nomination made through the order of the Supreme Court.

"Therefore any doubts that this really amounts to an investigation into a terrorist act should be set aside immediately. It is just one agency available to the government that under the orders of the Supreme Court can be used for the investigation," he said.
