Why? Because the charges levelled against her might well apply to a very large number of our embassy and consular staff? And not just in New York?

Why? Because the charges levelled against her might well apply to a very large number of our embassy and consular staff? And not just in New York? Imagine the embarrassment ahead if this prosecution were to extend to the rest of the fraternity. After all, the domestic help who have been ripped off are also Indian citizens. What if some group clubbed together a raft of such cases and brought something like a class-action suit in American courts? It would be quite logical. And it could cost the government of India millions of dollars.

This is a real problem but none of the babus are losing sleep over this as the money comes from govt coffers.

but i hope someone evokes the principle of following the law of the land where the person is working and change ifs rules accordingly. it is shameful.for govt to behave like an individual.
