American court takes zero cognisance of Indian legal courts, of course! Whats there to complain here??? Besides the alleged crime took place in USA, their right to take action. The maid has also approached her country of residence and the country where crime took place - USA for help has she not???
3. In fact considering America's history with illegal immigrants, Why was it that even though the nanny absconded from her work place in July and had her Indian passport revoked she was not arrested by the NYPD ?
4. Why was it that when the Delhi High court passed an injunction against the nanny that she was not declared an illegal fugitive in the eyes of the law ?
5. Why did the govt. of US provide such special treatment to an illegal Indian fugitive from law ?
6. Why did the US further provide a visa for her husband and child by 10th December and facilitate their escape into the US and THEN arrest the Indian diplomat on 12th December ?
Indian govt has removed security barriers from US embassy. And you blame US prosecutors for suspecting that the might of the indian state will be used to deny the maid justice - because she messed with the babu-politician-media alliance? Seriously?
You are talking complete and utter nonsense , removing Barriars have nothing to do with Maids Justice
Indians need to wake up and concentrate on real issues, instead of being driven like sheep to safeguard the interests of our rich fat rulers.
India should implement our laws strictly to US staff too, I'll fully support that. What I do not support is making this into an emotive issue and damaging India- US ties.
Stop acting like you are the only person who knows the truth and rest are sheep..That a disgusting attitude over a person who has a different point of view . Get back to earth ....
Let me repeat, the issue of a rich pampered yet ''dalit'' dimplomat with lots of govt gifted properties is priority ZERO for Indians. But the media, thats part of the same rich pampered ruling class and also receives lots of govt gifted properties is taking poor indians for a ride.
Nobody gives a flying **** about personal generalized opinion about Indians .. Get out of what ever complexity you are having.
7. It was the nanny who claimed a salary of more than 4,500$ when she filled the DS 160 form for A3 visa. Why is she not arrested for Visa fraud when she already had a contract with the diplomat for a far lesser salary ?
8. It can be clearly seen that the nanny was the one perpetuating the fraud, worst that can be claimed is that the Indian diplomat aided and abetted in this fraud (alleged).
Relevant clause is Article 41 which states,
1. Consular officers shall not be liable to arrest or detention pending trial, except in the case of a grave crime and pursuant to a decision by the competent judicial authority. (Grave crime is usually defined as Murder, Rape, Robbery etc. )
2. Except in the case specified in paragraph 1 of this Article, consular officers shall not be committed to prison or liable to any other form of restriction in their personal freedom save in execution of a judicial decision of final effect.
3. If criminal proceedings are instituted against a consular officer, he must appear before the competent authorities. Nevertheless, the proceedings shall be conducted with the respect due to him by reason of his official position and, except in the case specified in paragraph 1 of this Article, in a manner which will hamper the exercise of consular functions as little as possible.
Article 72 does discuss customarily favored treatment beyond the limits of the Convention. This could be what infuriates Indian officials so much.
privilege that consider exists under Article 72.
The Maid's pay should not even be a issue.
Some Indians just love showcase their moral and ethical superiority over other Indians.
