Richard's husband said he
had been called more than once by Khobragade's father, who asked him to make his wife return to India,
the person said.
While the indictment was returned on January 9, Khobragade had the immunity till she departed from the US for India on the evening of January 9
and so the prosecutors cannot proceed with the current indictment.
Thirty-nine-year-old Khobragade, who was posted as Deputy Consul General in New York,
was also accredited as an"advisor to the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations" by the UN with effect from August 26, 2013 and her status as an advisor was valid until 31 December 2013.
