New Delhi, Sep 17 (Agencies) : The Saudi Arabian diplomat, who was charged with the confinement and rape of two women from Nepal in Gurgaon, has left the country.
"We have learnt that the first secretary Majed Hassan Ashoor who was allegedly accused of raping two Nepalese women has left India," spokesperson in External Affairs Ministry Vikas Swaroop said.
"The first secretary being a diplomat is governed by the provision of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations," Swaroop added.
It is learnt that the MEA had put pressure on the Saudi Embassy to allow the questioning of the diplomat given the gravity of the allegations in the case involving confinement and rape of the two women.
The Gurgaon Police on Wednesday claimed that the agent, who lured the two Nepali women to the capital, may slip out of the country any moment to evade arrest but said they cannot take any action against him unless they get MEA's response to the detailed report sent on September 9.
Police sources said that the agent, identified as Anwar, operates from Delhi and places maids in the entire NCR region.
