India, without giving any impression to interfere with the judicial process in the US, has expressed concerns with the State of California over the manner in which Indian fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander is being tried for a number of cases of alleged sexual abuse and alleged rape.

"While in no way wishing to interfere with the judicial process, the Government of India is concerned at the lack of adequate information and opportunity to an Indian citizen to defend himself," the Consulate General of India in San Fransisco has said in a statement.

The Government of India have noted media reports of judicial proceedings which indicate instances where exculpatory evidence was either destroyed or withheld from the defendant, it said.

The Consul General of India in San Francisco, after receiving instructions from his government, called on the Attorney General of the State of California, Edmund G Brown Jr and expressed his government's concerns at the publicly reported omissions and commissions in the due judicial process.

The Counsel General also requested the Attorney General to ensure that Anand Jon, an Indian citizen, was given every opportunity to defend himself to the fullest extent provided under the US laws.

"Exculpatory evidence, which reportedly have been destroyed and withheld by the State, should be made available to him for a full and fair assessment by the Jury and also to the Defence without prejudice in the interest of the fair process of law," the statement said.

"The concerns of the Government of India were noted by the Attorney General of California who assured that he would look into them," said the statement.
