Sonia Gandhi returns to India after 'check-up'
Sonia Gandhi, the head of India's governing Congress party, is "absolutely fine" after returning to India following a "routine check-up", a party official has said.
It follows surgery she had six months ago, also overseas, for an undisclosed medical condition.
The Congress party have refused to comment on her illness or where she has sought treatment.
Gandhi, 64, is seen as India's most powerful politician. She holds no official post, but many consider her the de facto head of the government.
Media reports have suggested she was treated at a specialist cancer hospital in New York.
