Washington : US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should act on the case of an Indian diplomat’s daughter who is suing New York city for a whopping $1.5 million for false arrest to avoid retaliation from other countries, said lawyer Ravi Batra.
Batra, lawyer of Krittika Biswas, sent a letter to Hillary Clinton June 1 that said: “I urge you to act and avoid possible retaliatory-reciprocity from foreign nations.”
Krittika Biswas, student of John Bowne High School and daughter of Debashish Biswas, vice consul (administration) at the Indian Consulate General in New York, filed a notice of claim of $1.5 million May 6.
She said her claims of diplomatic immunity were ignored when she was handcuffed and locked up for more than 24 hours Feb 8 after a “shoddy” probe by administrators into alleged obscene emails sent to two teachers in her school.
