India has demanded that the US drop a case against an Indian diplomat who was arrested and strip-searched in New York City for alleged visa fraud.
印度已經要求美方撤銷對其外交官的指控。該外交官日前因涉嫌簽證偽造在紐約被逮捕并遭脫光搜身。
Indian officials described the case as degrading treatment of Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York. Khobragade was arrested last week and charged with paying her Indian housekeeper far less than she had claimed on a visa application.
印方官員認為美方行為是對其駐紐約副總領事—— Devyani Khobragade的人格侮辱。 Devyani Khobragade于上周遭到美方警察逮捕，并被指控支付給其印度保姆的薪水遠低于在簽證申請時所填寫的金額。
Indian officials said Khobragade had earlier accused the housekeeper of blackmailing her over the salary amount and that the US attorney in Manhattan ignored the fact. Khobragade could face a maximum sentence of 10 years for visa fraud and five years for making a false declaration if convicted.
印度官方表示 Devyani Khobragade之前曾就其保姆在薪金方面的敲詐行為進行指控，而美方律師卻忽略了這一事實。 如果罪名成立，Devyani Khobragade可能會因簽證造假和虛假聲明分別面臨最高10年和5年的監禁。
