India has sent an arrest warrant to Malaysia for Iranian national Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, arrested in connection with the a bombing attempt in Bangkok. Official sources said the request was sent through diplomatic channels for producing him before court to unravel the conspiracy behind the attack on an Israeli diplomat's car in New Delhi on February 13.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav issued the warrant against the Iranian national on March 17 after Special Cell of Delhi Police alleged that he was also involved in the conspiracy of the blast. The Interpol has also issued a Red Corner Notice against him.

The request cities the in-principle agreement between India and Malaysia to establish a mechanism for cooperation on counter-terrorism. While both countries have an Extradition Treaty ratified in February 2011, they are in the process of inking a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty in Criminal Matters.

Malaysian authorities, however, are keen on sending Sedaghatzadeh to Bangkok as an extradition request from Thailand was received first and also the fact that he was a part of the botched-up plan in that country.
