New Delhi, May 14 (UNI) A local court today asked the CBI to file a status report on the extradition process initiated against former RAW official Ravinder Singh, by September 18.

The investigating agency had earlier asked for four months' time to process Singh's extradition from the US, after the court issued an open non-bailable warrant against him.

Singh, a Joint Secretary in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has been missing since May 14, 2004 and is alleged to have been spying for the US. He has been charged with illegally photocopying documents to be passed on to a suspected foreign contact. Evidence was obtained through video and telephone surveillance by RAW's counter-intelligence unit.

Singh later fled the country on a Nepalese passport alongwith his wife Parminder Kaur and has been absconding since.
