Devyani Khobragade & Maid : RAW & IB smell CIA cosnpiracy

[Developereo]

evacuate family of the maid ...

and

so what is your assessment, is it that they wanted to protect her due to the case against devyani and sneaked her out of India. Thats pretty extraordinary for a visa fraud case.

The Indian claim is that the police/court action against the family was justified. The US feels it amounts to harassment and potential blackmail. Even the daughter was held in police custody. What's the need to put a child in police custody for her mother's alleged actions?

Also, according to the maid's daughter, the consul's father personally threatened the entire family.

Protecting the witness is standard procedure in law enforcement and the US felt the family needed protection from retribution in India.

clearly the news hints of intimidating the poor Christian maid and harassing of Christian community in India.

Do you have any proof that daughter was put in custody ?

Don't you think US has gone really far to evacuate maid's family from India ...all this while one is not sure of maid's credentials....

Seems US was dead sure about maid's case ...thought they had water tight case against diplomat so that they went at such great length ....or the maid may have been too precious for US ?


We are well aware of US duplicity in regards to Richards Headley case ....
How US made sure that India will not get hold of Richard headly so that CIA role in his making would not be unearthed ....?

same may be applicable with regards to this particular maid .

Given the fact that maid's father in law etc had also worked for US diplomats ...there is every ground to suspect that maid may have colluded with US diplomats to spy on Indian consul.


I really doubt if YUS will go at such length with such an elaborate plan to evacuate maid's family ...

If you look at the details of case ....things do not seem correct .


Total silence of US authorities weeks prior to the arrest of diplomat , refusal to respond to arrest warrant against the maid forwarded by Indian consul , whisking away of maid's family and immediate arrest of diplomat within days of maid's family's arrival in US , failure to report the imminent arrest of diplomat when all the senior officials such as Foreign affairs secretary , deputy secretary etc were present and negotiating with their US counterparts as the fact that all this happened with full knowledge of US state secretary ... all this reeks of larger conspiracy ...

It was reported in Indian media. It should be easy enough to check police records, but on one in India seems interested to validate the maid's version of the story.

The US prosecutors and judges arrested a diplomat. Either they believed the maid's version of events (US story) or they have ulterior motives (Indian story).

We don't know.

If you guys are buying conspiracies, I got some hot ones to sell...

The maid is a BJP operative. Notice the timing of this whole episode.
While we are at it, Preet Bharara, the NY attorney, is also a Modi fan (why not?).

You missed it here. ISI played the whole game pitting India against US.


Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade's father, retired Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Uttam Khobragade alleged that his daughter's maid Sangeeta Richard stayed at the home of a Pakistani woman called Maggie after going missing from Devyani's New York residence in June


Maid stayed at Pak National's home, says Devyani's father

Sangeeta Richard stayed at the home of a Pakistani woman called Maggie

Damn!
"Maggie" is compromised?

We'll have to have her killed off...

rather than taking potshots @Sashan why don't you explain how come the US just realized in 2013 that Indian consuls were paying less to their helps ? What about the last 60 years of diplomatic presence of India in US ?

Who said US suddenly woke up one fine day?

US was privy to these kinds of maid abuse not just by India but by other countries. So in 2008, formulated William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorisation Act which was meant to be protecting all the workers coming to US from the unfair treatment by their employers(not just the maids, even the software professionals and other educated employees). As per this law the diplomats/consular officers were made known of and had the obligation to inform their employees of their rights(in case of A3 visas) and read the pamplet link I published below on what the rights are(the partial screen shot I have shown here as well). So Devyani was always aware of these laws.


In 2008, the US government accountability office (GAO) published a report which identified 42 instances of diplomats in the US accused of abusing foreign employees they had brought to the country between 2000 and 2008.

The GAO report conceded that this almost certainly underestimated the problem. Nearly a third of the accused diplomats were from Africa while 15 per cent were from Asia and 2.5 per cent from Europe.

Also in 2008, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorisation Act strengthened protections offered to employees of diplomats and consular officials employees and made it possible to censure employers.

Devyani, a case of more teeth to law

And many previous cases were successfully prosecuted -

1. There was a civil court law suit against Neena Malhotra who enjoyed full diplomatic immunity unlike Devyani was sued for $1.5 million and in this case the maid abused was a 17 year old girl called Shanti Gurung but she had run away to India without facing the civil charges.
2. Another Indian diplomat Prabhu Dayal settled for an undiclosed sum for abusing the maid.
3. Another Mauritius diplomat settled for a retribution of $25,000 and a fine of $5000.
4. Another Taiwanese diplomat was prosecuted and was asked to pay about $80,000



Devyani, a case of more teeth to law

Under this law, domestic workers must be made aware of their rights in this country directly by consular officers and, most relevant to the Khobragade case, diplomats are required to have a contract with a domestic worker containing conditions of employment.

Devyani grossly underpaid domestic worker, say lawyers - The Hindu
