If any foreign government issues summons or arrest warrant for Indian citizens, then there is a complete legal process to look into it which runs under Mutual Understanding and Legal Assistance between the two countries. Such applications/recommendations are served on merit basis and we have not received any such application from the US.

Randhir Jaiswal said that this matter is between private individuals and private entities and the Central Government/Government of India is not involved in its investigation process or any other action at any point at this time.
