Not so simple. There is an outstanding arrest warrant for the nanny& the U.S. has been made known of it.
In any case, the public arrest and handcuffing of a diplomat was hardly a sensible thing to do, especially when dropping her children to school. If U.S. authorities wanted to pursue a case, she could have been asked to come in with her lawyer and complete the formalities in a more discreet manner. Public humiliation of a Indian diplomat in this manner will almost certainly evoke strong feelings & invite a tough response. If Mr.Bharara and his office wanted to make a point, it should have been done without appearing to deliberately target & humiliate a country along with the person concerned. She was after all in the U.S. representing the India state, not on personal business. It can't be that hard to find a law that some U.S. diplomat has broken in India, even if inadvertently.There are so many obscure laws that it would be pretty much guaranteed. The U.S. would not be doing itself much favour by setting this sort of precedent.
