INDIA-US-DIPLOMACY-COURT-FILES
(FILES) Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade arrives at the domestic airport in Mumbai in this January 14, 2014 file photo. A New York grand jury on March 14, 2014, re-indicted Khobragade, accused of mistreating her housekeeper on two counts of visa fraud and making false statements, threatening to reignite a bitter row with New Delhi. The announcement from the Manhattan federal prosecutor came two days after a US judge threw out a previous case on the grounds that the former consular official was granted full diplomatic immunity after her arrest. But the new, 21-page indictment paints a devastating picture of the lengths to which Khobragade allegedly went to infringe US laws in hiring a nanny-cum-housekeeper when she moved to New York in 2012. US prosecutors, disputing her immunity, accuse Khobragade of forcing her Indian maid to work 100 hours or more a week, even when sick and without a full day off, for $1.42 or less an hour. The indictment accuses Khobragade of presenting false information to obtain a visa for her housekeeper and coaching her to lie to US Embassy officials. AFP PHOTO/PUNIT PARANJPE/FILES
