 "US govt 'surprised' by dismissal of charges against Devyani")
The Obama Administration has expressed “surprise” over the dismissal of a federal indictment against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in the visa fraud case. [caption id=“attachment_1433865” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  PTI[/caption] “We were surprised by the dismissal of the indictment against former Indian Deputy Consul General Devyani Khobragade,” State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said, a day after a New York court dismissed the indictment against Khobragade. Khobragade, whose arrest and strip search soured Indo-US relations, yesterday won dismissal of the case against her with a US judge ruling she had full diplomatic immunity. The ruling, however, left open the possibility that US prosecutors could bring a new indictment against Khobragade. PTI
