Senior London-based diplomat Anil Verma, accused of assaulting his wife, has been transferred back home. Sources said Mr Verma has been transferred to Delhi with immediate effect and may face action which will be based on the findings of the probe into the allegations of assault against him. Mr Verma, a 1986-batch IAS officer of the West Bengal cadre and third-ranked diplomat in the Indian High Commission, found himself in trouble when his wife covered in blood was found screaming by neighbours on December 11. When the police arrived, 45-year-old Verma, Minister (Economic) in the Indian mission, claimed diplomatic immunity and escaped action.
