"A case has been opened at the judiciary in this regard, but given the (diplomatic) immunity of the Saudi diplomat, the Judiciary has reached out to the Saudi judiciary through the foreign ministry to drop his immunity or pursue his case on its own," Davatgari said on Saturday.

He said that Saudi Arabia has not yet provided a response to Iran's demands with regard to the case. Yet, he stressed that Saudi Arabia should pay full ransom to the family of the driver killed in the incident.
