india- Indian police have lodged a criminal case against three Israeli diplomats for allegedly abusing and injuring an airport immigration official, despite them enjoying diplomatic immunity, an officer said on Monday.

A scuffle broke out late Saturday when the consular officials were clearing immigration at New Delhi airport to catch a flight to Kathmandu, the police deputy commissioner in charge of airport security said.

“They kept on arguing with the Indian official at the immigration assistance counter. Once their papers were cleared, they verbally abused the official and when he objected, they pounced on him,” MI Haider told AFP.

According to local media reports, the diplomats were angry over delays in clearing immigration.

The trio were not arrested over the incident since they have diplomatic immunity but police have proceeded with a case against them. CCTV footage of the incident would be used to assist the case, he added.
