India diplomat in visa row leaves US

India diplomat Devyani Khobragade indicted but leaves US

Breaking news

An Indian diplomat whose arrest in the US sparked protests from India has been given diplomatic immunity and has left the US, prosecutors say.

They wrote to a New York judge on Thursday announcing the indictment of Devyani Khobragade but said she would be "unavailable" for trial.

Ms Khobragade was detained on charges of visa fraud and of underpaying her housekeeper in New York last month.

India had demanded an apology for her "humiliation" including a strip-search.
