Will wait for outcome of Afghan police probe: India

September 10, 2013 20:06

India today said it will wait for the final outcome of the investigations into Indian author Sushmita Banerjee, who was killed by Taliban in eastern Paktika province of Afghanistan last week, and was ready to help if her Afghan husband wants to send back her belongings.

"Our initial impression was that there was some family issue but we will wait for the final outcome as the local police would be in the best position to provide that information to us," the spokesperson in the external affairs ministry said.

He was asked about the MEA's views on reports of conspiracy in the killing of the Indian author and demand for probe by her family and friends.
