NEW DELHI, India — A Soviet diplomat who vanished while taking a walk in the Indian capital a week ago has defected to the United States, the Indian government announced yesterday.
Neither the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi nor the State Department in Washington would comment on the announcement, citing the Reagan administration's policy of refusing to discuss defections.

sought asylum somewhere outside of India.
A Soviet Embassy employee quoted by the Press Trust of India news agency described Gezh'a deflection as "unbelievable" and said he "might have defected under duress."
"He was not a person to do so," said the embassy employee who asked not to be identified. "He is a devoted Marxist and never complained against the Soviet policies."

S.S. Jog told Press Trust that the
dipoliat may have flown to Nepal from eastern Uttar Pradesh state. He said records at New Delhi's airport show no records of his departure.
The last important Soviet official to defect to the United States for political reasons was Arkady Shevchenko in 1978. As undersecretary general of the United Nations, Shevchenko became the highest-ranking Soviet official to defect to the United States.
In February, he published a book, "Breaking With Moscow," in which he said he had passed Russian secrets to American intelligence agents for 32 months while at the United Nations.
