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.
印度已经要求美方撤销对其外交官的指控。该外交官日前因涉嫌签证伪造在纽约被逮捕并遭脱光搜身。
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.
印方官员认为美方行为是对其驻纽约副总领事—— Devyani Khobragade的人格侮辱。 Devyani Khobragade于上周遭到美方警察逮捕，并被指控支付给其印度保姆的薪水远低于在签证申请时所填写的金额。
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诈行为进行指控，而美方律师却忽略了这一事实。 如果罪名成立，Devyani Khobragade可能会因签证造假和虚假声明分别面临最高10年和5年的监禁。
