The probe into the alleged rape and confinement of two Nepalese women by a Saudi diplomat and his “guests” in an flat would be undertaken in accordance with the Vienna convention as the official enjoys diplomatic immunity, the Gurgaon Police Commissioner said on Wednesday.

Constantly stressing that registration of an FIR does not mean that offence has been proved, Police Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk said the police is in touch with the External Affairs Ministry which has sought a detailed report on the case which would be submitted shortly.
