Devyani Khobragade incident
On December 11, 2013, Devyani Khobragade, then the Deputy Consul General of the Consulate General of India in New York City, was charged by U.S. authorities with committing visa fraud and providing false statements in order to gain entry to the United States for Sangeeta Richard,〔This article renders her family as ''Richard''. Some sources, including some cited in this article, render her name as ''Richards''.〕 a woman of Indian nationality, for employment as a domestic worker for Khobragade in New York. Khobragade was arrested the next day by U.S. federal law enforcement authorities, subjected to a body-cavity search commonly called a "strip search", presented to a judge and released the same day. Her arrest and treatment have received much media attention particularly in India, and have led to a major diplomatic standoff between India and the United States.
One week later, Khobragade was transferred by the government of India to the UN mission in New York, subject to clearance from the United States Department of State, which would entitle her to full diplomatic immunity.〔(India accuses US of immigration fraud, transfers Devyani to permanent mission at UN ) December 18, 2013〕 Her former post only entitled her to consular immunity.
On January 8, 2014, the U.S. issued Khobragade the G-1 visa that granted her full diplomatic immunity. Following this an unknown US State official is reported to have stated "The US requested waiver of immunity (of Devyani Khobragade). India denied that request. We then requested her departure, as per the standard procedure and the charges remain in place." The next day, Khobragade left the United States by plane to India. That same day she was indicted by a federal grand jury with visa fraud and making false statements.〔
On March 12, 2014, Judge Shira Scheindlin ordered that all charges against Khobragade be dismissed because she had diplomatic immunity at the time of her indictment on visa fraud charges due to her posting to the United Nations prior to the indictment.〔〔 Two days later, Khobragade was re-indicted on the same charges.〔〔
