New Delhi: A criminal case was registered against three Israeli diplomats for allegedly assaulting an immigration official at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, police said today. However, the trio could not be arrested by the police as they enjoy diplomatic immunity.
The incident took place yesterday afternoon around 1:30 PM at Terminal 3 of the airport when the three diplomats were headed for Kathmandu in Nepal. The three young diplomats had to wait for their immigration formalities to be completed as there was rush at the counter. Finally, when an official identified as Somveer was attending them, they accused him of being slow. An altercation broke out between them during which one of them slapped the official while the two others roughed him up, police said.
Airport officials informed police about the incident which soon reached the spot and questioned the trio who told them that they were Israeli diplomats and were headed to Nepal for a diplomatic mission. The entire incident was captured in CCTV camera and the footage has been preserved by the police for assistance in investigation.
