The US is proceeding with the prosecution of Indian diplomat Devyani
Khobragade after her arrest earlier this month caused a huge diplomatic
row, media reports say.
Khobragade's detention on charges of visa fraud and underpaying her housekeeper led to outrage in India, where she is seen as being victimised.
She has denied all the charges and has been released on bail.
India has demanded an apology from the US over her alleged "humiliation".
But Press Trust of India news agency quoted US sources in New York as saying that the US is gathering more evidence against the diplomat ahead of 13 January, the deadline for her indictment.
The sources said there was no question of dropping the charges against Ms Khobragade or apologising for the arrest.
