Yup, and the SD and US Federal Cavalry rode in to the rescue just like General Custer did.It looks like the Indian Foreign Office was looking for a fight and that exactly what they got.
The Theories ......There is a visa fraud case... but it was Sangeeta who committed the fraud. “Who applied for visa? Sangeeta. Who signed the visa application? Sangeeta. Who went to the US embassy and took an oath saying that everything on the visa application is true? Sangeeta. Who was interviewed by the US consulate? Sangeeta. Then, if there was a visa fraud, who committed the visa fraud?” ?????
Also from the same source.....A Pakistani woman called Maggie Fauzia encouraged Sangeeta to go against Devyani. “She brainwashed Sangeeta by planting the idea that she could permanently reside in the US, instead of working for Devyani for a few years, and all that needed to be done was make a false allegation against Devyani. One fine day Sangeeta just disappeared,” .....
Link:Daughter’s defenceThough Devyani informed the police about her missing and even the Indian government stepped in because Sangeeta was holding a diplomatic passport (which would become invalid the day she stopped working for Devyani), she could not be located. “At least four correspondences from the government of India were not entertained in the US,” said Khobragade.
Then one day, Devyani received a call from Sangeeta's attorney and a law firm called Access Immigration, asking her to come for a face-to-face negotiation. Devyani and other consulate officers went and gave Sangeeta a flight ticket to return to India, which she refused to accept. Khobragade said Sangeeta demanded $10,000 during the negotiation and Devyani's help in getting immigration. “That showed her mental preparedness,” he said.
Khobragade said he was shocked when he heard about Devyani's arrest. “I was surprised because I have also been a magistrate for several years. How could Devyani get arrested on visa fraud charges when it wasn't Devyani who had applied for the visa,” he said. He called Access Immigration when he visited the US, asking to talk to Sangeeta, but was told the firm was no longer handling her case.
Later, he said, the US government suggested that lawyers from the two sides discuss the issue. “We decided to give it a chance. But the proposal showed the motive—they would dump the visa fraud charges, but we must accept the smaller charge of less payment. There would be some fine by the court and then we would make the payment to Sangeeta of around $100,000. It means that somebody has invested in Sangeeta and wanted to recover the money from Devyani,” he said. “If there was a visa fraud, why did they agree to drop the charge?”
Khobragade said he had been paying Sangeeta's salary to her family in India. “I have proof that we spent more than Rs.60,000 a month on her. She had said that since she was going to the US, she wanted a document that stated that her husband would get Rs.30,000 a month. All that money was being paid by cheque, on the first of every month into her account by me. Besides, Devyani was paying her $1,000 per month. Altogether we paid $1,600-$1,700 to Sangeeta a month,” he said. “Which NRI pays so much?”
Incidentally, the complaint against Devyani submitted to the US department of justice by the Diplomatic Security Services says that in the visa application form submitted on October 15, 2012, Devyani had stated that she would be paying Sangeeta around $4,500 a month.
Not too long before she was arrested, Devyani was the centre of attraction at the Maharashtra Tourism's gala Diwali celebration at Times Square in New York City. “She played a prominent role at the programme,” said Khobragade. “Even [Maharashtra PWD Minister] Chhagan Bhujbal was all praises for her efforts.” Then the controversy derailed her life. Now back in India, she seemed to have moved on from it.

India is like a 55 year old man who has gone through its highs and lows. It has crossed the teenage of 19 when it ruled the world under Samudra Gupta types and also put the world under its brutal sword. It realized that sword/gun has no longevity after it lost couple centuries. It went for trade and civilization. When it got back its self rule, it is trying to not make the same mistakes. USA and other teen aged powers take this as India’s weakness. India just watches the teenage adrenaline of USA when if puts all of its moles in Indian institutions. It laughs that USA when it thinks it has control over most of India. When USA thought it can get things by threatening India in the form of Devayani, India’s vast experience as a 55 year old in diplomacy has shown USA its aukaat. One Sonia or one Nuke Deal via Manmohan or a C-130 deal is not the end. India knows how to buy Rafale, and pass liability law and also know how to dismiss few embassy staff after getting back Devayani. It is a new lesson that US has to learn and deal with.

Oh poor innocent protein-fat filled Americans. They were not expecting this from the caste riddled slavers. The Indian Foreign office started the fight - "We didn't start the fire.

That will be cooked slowly.

The US had fuked up relations with many nations in the past and has never actually been a particularly loyal friend for India. But IMO it is better that way - and it is better for Indians to understand what they are dealing with, when they deal with the US. I think there are a few other countries that have a similar rough and tumble relationship with the US and these include Russia and China.
The US of course is much more wary about dealing with Russia - but there has been some impunity in dealing with China - the bombing of the Chinese consulate during the Bosnia action and the Wang Wei Orion incident. The US tends to deal with Russia via proxies - and US deals with India is also via proxies or The non NATO ally Proxytute.
Yep, May be that is why they are doing damage control, by stroking the ego of Indian reporters, so that they will continue to write in favor of the Americans.nobody much cares on the US side
After being stripped and cavity searched by Delhi's finest with bratwurst like fingers, and spending a few days with the "General Prison Population of Delhi" in the Tihar jail. I look forward to reading the howls of sanctimonious outrage and the patronizing Op-Eds from New York Times and Wash. Post .

Interestingly a tall guy who is definitely from the looks either North Indian or Pakistani accompanied her. They were talking to each other and then in the actual interview this lawyer was wearing the same clothes and had the same file and so both clips were taken on the same day. So three “South Asians” in the picture so far.
