Speculation....
It is only speculation but the plan seems to of been to leave the aircraft in india as long as possible so that the whole thing could of been wrapped up at this end and then simply slip the machine back into the country and keep it. Afterall it was left in the care of the indian air force and well cared for. Global Ego could be quietly put to bed since the cost of shipping back an allegedly damaged aircraft would be more than what a damaged machine was worth and so leaving it there made good sense and would, with the lack of evidence, fool anybody. But the aircraft not being damaged and shipped back for free make it an altogether more attractive option. The only downside would be having to wait for it to all die down before getting it back. The danger now is that it will be back and all the intrest in the fiasco has not died down yet. Perhaps we should brace for a realy gripping story of personal hardship and sorrow as to why it has been delayed and see if that delay makes it all go away....yeah right!!!!!
This is purley conjecture and is no way an attack on Autorot8 or his career ( or his carer sid!, see above)
