Devyani Khobragade, India's
deputy consul general in New York, is accused of submitting false
documents to obtain a work visa for her Manhattan housekeeper. Indian
officials said she was arrested and handcuffed Thursday as she dropped
off her daughter at school, and was kept in a cell with drug addicts
before posting $250,000 bail.
A
senior Indian official confirmed reports that she also was
strip-searched, which has been portrayed in India as the most offensive
and troubling part of the arrest. The official spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
I guess the Indian government thought she would get preferential treatment because she was a diplomat or a woman or something. If you are arrested for a crime in America you will be strip searched most of the time. I guess it is funny to have the Indian government freak out about a little nudity and cavity search when women are getting raped to death on city buses.
