Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade was subjected to a humiliating strip search and was kept in a cell with drug addicts after her arrest for alleged visa fraud. The arrest and detention of an Indian consular official in New York on visa fraud charges has created a diplomatic uproar.Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York, is accused of submitting false documents to obtain a work visa for her Manhattan housekeeper. Devyani Khobragade has left the US after her diplomatic immunity was confirmed, allowing her to sidestep fraud charges in New York. Khobragade is accused of submitting false documents to obtain a work visa for her female housekeeper, paying her less than the amount stated. Devyani Khobragade, arrested in New York on charges of visa fraud, was put through both strip and cavity searches, procedures normally used for criminals. Devyani Khobragade, deputy consul general, was handcuffed upon arrest last week. US officials have confirmed she was strip-searched afterwards. Officials from both countries work quietly to defuse crisis arising out of Indian envoy's arrest in New York.
