Saudi diplomat accused in rape case leaves India

New Delhi, Sept. 17 (IBNS) The Saudi diplomat, who has been accused of confining and raping two Nepali women who worked as his domestic help, has left India.

Media reports said the Saudi government had withdrawn him after India insisted on his being questioned by the police.

The women, who were rescued from the diplomat's Gurgaon home last week on basis of a tip off from an NGO, had alleged that they had been repeatedly gang-raped, tortured, starved and kept confined for over three months. 

As Nepal demanded justice for the women, Saudi Arabia pressured India to drop the case, insisting that the diplomat  was innocent.

The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations gives diplomats immunity from arrest, criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits in the countries where they are posted.
