Pak Gov to release Raymond Davis very soon: Foreign news agency

A foreign newspaper agency has claimed that Raymond Davis who was involved in murder of three persons in Lahore, will be released in a few days. Two Pakistani officials in the United States told a foreign news agency on Friday they expect Davis to be free in days, once a Pakistani court goes over documents US officials have submitted to prove his diplomatic status. The Pakistani officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter. US officials say Raymond Davis, who works at the consulate in Lahore, acted in self-defense in shooting and killing two armed men who approached him on the street after robbing someone else. Publicly, Pakistani officials have avoided definitive statements on whether Davis qualifies for diplomatic immunity, saying his fate is up to the court. But the officials who spoke to the news agency and said that their government had to let the case proceed until the US produced the necessary documents on Davis’ status. They said Pakistani police believed the evidence supported Davis’ story.
