December 26, 2014 20:55

The External Affairs Ministry today did not rule out any further disciplinary action against senior diplomat Devyani Khobragade, who had hit the headlines last year after being arrested in the US in a visa fraud case.

Disciplinary as well as administrative action have been taken against Khobragade, who has been put on "compulsory wait" after being removed from the position of Director-level officer in the development partnership division of the ministry.

When asked about her recent media interviews, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said she was bound by the rules of the service and the authorities concerned will focus if "any other things" have been brought to its notice.
