The matter came to light after a TimesNow report on a purported e-mail from US Deputy National Security Advisor Micheal Froman to India's Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montel Singh Ahluwalia on the issue of Dow Chemicals.

"I am not familiar with all the details but I think we want to avoid developments which put chilling effect on our investment relationship," the e-mail went on to add, clearly seeking to link India's request at World Bank with the Bhopal gas disaster.



Twenty-five years ago, on the night of Dec 2-3, 1984, at least 3,500 people were killed instantly and thousands more later after a deadly gas leaked from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal.



Union Carbide was subsequently acquired by Dow Chemicals.



Ahluwalia had sought Forman's help saying India had hit the limit set at the World Bank which will force it to cut its credit line to New Delhi drastically, unless the limit is relaxed.



He requested the official to speak with his colleagues at the US Treasury.



Reacting to this exchange, the top Indian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Ahluwalia had already explained he was not connected in any manner with the process being followed on the Bhopal disaster case, including Anderson's extradition.
