Complaint against Devyani won't be dropped: US State Dept

December 20, 2013 02:50

The US State Department has said it is not pressuring US law enforcement to drop a complaint against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade that has increased tensions between the two countries.

"Not true," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in response to a question about whether there was pressure being applied to US law enforcement.

India has urged the United States to withdraw a visa fraud case against one of its diplomats in New York, suggesting that Secretary of State John Kerry's expression of regret over her treatment in custody was not enough.
