Times now saying she was stripped ...if this is true..this is outrageous ...all military transactions with them should be canceled
No, consular immunity is only partial: it only covers the consul's duties.It is not a crime by Indian Law, and she has diplomatic immunity from US laws. What part of that do you not understand ?
Quite the opposite: it shows that Indians working in the U.S. are entitled to the same treatment as American workers, regardless of the fact that their boss is a diplomat.This incident just goes to show Indian blood is treated cheaper than sea water.
Being strip searched and locked up are proper legal proceedings when they arrest people in the United States. She is not above the law and I see no controversy in this matter. This is yet another humble pie that Indians are forced to eat after thinking that Bollywood, and out Sourcing some how propelled them into super power status.
Leave Raymond Davis out and I Completely agree with you. India must act tough.
Absolutely.
Next time US Diplomats are forging documents to so that they can bring maids from USA so that they can work below minimum wage while stationed India, India can use its own laws which protect the rights of Maids and prosecutes the guilty party against these American Diplomats.
Oops, I forgot no such laws exist in India and thats why India is in such an uproar.
she is a consular officer and not a diplomat...so there goes the excuse of having immunity. she broke the US local laws...she deserved it.

If you want to be respected ...be mindful of what you say !

Apparently what the deputy consul applied for was an A-3 visa for her housekeeper. The application says quite clearly of the housekeeper's pay, "The rate must be the greater of the minimum wage under U.S. Federal and state law, or the prevailing wage for all working hours. Information on the prevailing wage statistics by occupation and metropolitan area is available on the Department of Labor's Online Wage Library & Data Center website. "
The deputy consul is obligated to pay the rate under U.S. law. There have been several cases like this in the past few years, notably when a Saudi princess was held in jail under a $5,000,000 bond, charged with enslaving her domestic: link
