Modi visa row: MPs' letter to Obama authentic, claims forensic report

July 29, 2013 09:01

The controversy over Indian MPs' letters to President Barack Obama for denying visa to Narendra Modi has taken a new turn with a California-based forensic document examiner certifying that the signatures of the lawmakers are "original and authentic" and not a cut and paste job as claimed.

"Using accepted principles and methods of forensic examination, it is my opinion that the Q1-Q3 (three pages of Rajya Sabha MPs' letter) document was created in a single event, and that the signatures found upon it are original/authentic wet ink signatures," said the report after a forensic examination of the letter.
