Question

the investigation be handed over:

a.Indian law

b.UK law

c.US law

d.International law

Answer 1

Well, "international law" will apply, but does not conduct investigations or impose penalties for criminal offenses. International law will allow each country to conduct their own individual investigations, and they may each come to vastly different conclusions. Since the flight has landed in the USA, any suspects, witnesses, or evidence are likely to be detained by the US authorities until the investigations are complete. Depending on each countries investigations, and a finding that a crime has been committed, the USA would then have to agree to extradite the suspect to either India or the UK if they were going to stand trial.
