Thread: Row grows after US Marshals strip-search Indian diplomat

The trouble with India is that because it's a source of cheap labour for the world, it now thinks it's a superpower. They knew all about this in September and it would have been easier just to recall her. Now they've got egg on their face and they're trying to tantrum their way out of it.

On September 20, 2013, the Delhi High Court passed an interim injunction restraining the maid and her husband from filing for any action against Khobragade in any foreign court. On November 19, 2013, a New Delhi court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against the maid. On December 6, 2013, the warrant was forwarded to the US embassy with an official request to arrest the woman and facilitate her repatriation.

After four days, on December 10, 2013, the maid's husband and children were granted T visa, which allow certain victims of human trafficking and immediate family members to remain and work temporarily in the United States if they agree to assist law enforcement in testifying against the perpetrators.

We have a saying in the Middle East: If you want a job fucked up, give it to an Indian.

In southern India, the owner of a billboard dedicated to Nelson Mandela was left red-faced after it was discovered a photo of actor Morgan Freeman had been used instead of the South African anti-apartheid campaigner.

Nice lot the Indians... Seems to be similarities between them and the Bangkok 'hisos'. Entitled don't you know... I'm actually quite impressed with the way the Americans have handled this; restores a tad of faith in the Land of the Free.

Tantrum is right, the original story mentions taking down barriers at the American Embassy as a "punishment". Difficult to believe any government could be that childish and foolish.

I'll grant you that one, for sure...

We've just seen Indonesia and Australia at it, as well...

Hard to believe the fckwits running their respective countries like this...

Just an interesting sidebar. I, like many others, automatically assumed this lady was a high-caste Indian. In fact, she is not only not high caste, she is from the lowest caste in India - the Untouchables.

Absolutely unthinkable just a few years ago that an untouchable could have become an Indian diplomat as their diplomatic service has always been reserved for only those born into the highest castes.

Doesn't change a thing regarding her treatment of her servant, but I did find this interesting.

Not that surprising, I suppose someone has to pick up the poo in the consulate....
Deal with other low castes when they come in.

Uttam Khobragade on Thursday alleged a conspiracy behind the arrest of his diplomat daughter Devyani in New York and said all charges against her were fabricated as he dubbed US Attorney Preet Bharara's remarks after the incident as a "blatant" attack on the Indian judiciary.



"Please take cognisance of Bharara's utterance, that the Indian legal process is meant to 'silence' the maid," Khobragade, a former IAS officer, told reporters here.

"It is a blatant attack on the judiciary of India," he said. "Is it the Prime Minister or is it Preet Bharara who rules India?' he asked.

Khobragade accused the maid of fraud and said all charges must be dropped against Devyani.

"Devyani has been falsely implicated. The entire case is a conspiracy. The FIR against her was fabricated. The US must withdraw charges against my daughter," he demanded.

"I wish to thank the government and media for their role in handling of the case," the father said.

Raising further objections on Bharara's remarks, the father said, "What does his statement say? It says that the Indian courts were trying to silence the witness. That means Indian courts are not here to give justice but to silence the victim. Is it not a serious criminal contempt of court." "I want to make an appeal to the Supreme Court. Please take cognisance of this utterance, which is nothing but scandalising the process of justice in India," he said.

"This statement is clearly reflecting their mental state. It has confirmed the conspiracy. It is tantamount to saying that the Indian government is not protecting their citizens that is why we are protecting them sitting in New York," he said.

"I will try to meet Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. If this justice is simply not acceptable, then I will go on fast," he said.

Fucking dot-heads love this political conspiracy shit...this will drag on for bit.

I want to hear more about this extra property her and her dad fiddled. Perhaps people wouldn't be so sympathetic if they knew these two were corrupt.

A result for the Maid, protection by the U.S.A and a green card on its way. New York publishers must be offering book deals.

If someone from the lowest caste can have a desirable appointment like this, it suggests the system isn't what it used to be. Maybe being replaced by favours for money, the great equalizer.

I'll leave it up to your dirty fantasy

WASHINGTON: The transfer of diplomat Devyani Khobragade to India's Permanent Mission at the United Nations would grant her full-diplomatic immunity temporarily and protect her from any arrest in the US, but the visa fraud case against her would go uninterrupted, a US official said on Friday.

"For anyone, it would apply for the length of time that they have that diplomatic status. But it doesn't retroactively wipe out past discretions," the state department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki said.

"Receiving diplomatic immunity does not nullify any previously existing criminal charges. Those remain on the books. Nor does obtaining diplomatic immunity protect the diplomat from prosecution indefinitely. It relates to the status of a diplomat's current status for the length of the time of that status," Psaki said.

Diplomatic immunity means, among other things, that a foreign diplomat is not subject to criminal jurisdiction in the United States for the time they are a diplomat, for the time they have that immunity, she said.

She added that,"when immunity is conferred, it does not retroactively take effect at a previous point in time but relates solely to the diplomat's current status."

"So, I think some of the confusion here has been if there is a change in status, does that mean that there is a clean slate from past charges. There's not," Paski said.

After her arrest on visa fraud charges in New York last week, Khobragade was transfered this week from the Indian consulate to its Permanent Mission at the UN.

She also said that the US is yet to get an official request "through the proper channels for accreditation" and hinted the full diplomatic immunity would remain till the time she is posted at the UN.

NEW DELHI: Sangeeta Richards faces arrest when she arrives in the national capital as the Delhi Police has registered an FIR against her and her husband Philip and a non-bailable warrant against her has been issued by a local court.

Police had registered the FIR on October 9 against the couple on the complaint of US diplomat Devyani Khobragade. Philip had been examined by the police who later got a non bailable warrant against Sangeeta.

"Khobragade's father had approached the Delhi Police with the complaint after which the south district police had taken an opinion from the prosecution on whether a case was made out in the circumstances narrated by him and went ahead with the case after their approval," an officer said.

Philip's mother Agnes Samuels who works as a cook for the New Zealand Embassy was contacted by Times Now wherein she claimed that she had no relations with her son. She claimed that she had left him when he was eight and had no idea about his family. Their flat in south Delhi was found locked on Thursday.

There are always surveillance cameras in the booking areas of jails (at least there was 16 years ago when I left). Tell her to shut up or they'll release the video of the strip search.

After all, the Indians have made this an international issue, people should have all the facts.

Davis,

You seem to know a lot about India.

What is your experience there? With Indian people also?

Recomendations for someone travelling throught that huge sub-continent?


Thanks.
