“Yes, it has been found. It is being looked at. Far more important is to find out what he did in India. The investigations are on,” Tharoor said on the sidelines of a CII conference.

The visa application papers found by the Indian Consulate in Chicago will be sent to the External Affairs Ministry headquarters.

Indian Consulate in Chicago had earlier found the visa papers of the other suspected conspirator — Tahawwur Rana.

The External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vishnu Prakash had then asserted that it was not “accurate to conclude that these visa application papers are missing”.

“All relevant information in this regard is being shared with the investigating agencies,” he said.
