This episode gives a comprehensive account of all the arguments of Harish Salve and ASG in the Supreme Court and also how when Italians left for Italy on bail and refused to return, the SCI detained Italian ambassador within India which lead to a diplomatic row and finally on how this incident became one of the most academically discussed topic in international law.
