Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, whose arrest triggered a diplomatic row between India and the US,

could not have promised her housekeeper a salary of $4,500 a month when that's about how much she

earned herself, herlawyer said on Monday.

Daniel Arshack alleged that the investigators mistook the amount of $4,500 on Sangeeta Richard's visa

application as her monthly salary, which, in fact, was her employer's salary.

Mark Smith, the bureau of diplomatic security agent who processed the arrest and drew up the affidavit,"simply made an error" in reading Richard's visa form - the DS 160 - Arshack said.

"He erroneously read the $4,500 a month salary entry on the form as the domestic worker's expected

salary when, in fact, it was clearly a reporting of the base salary to be earned by the diplomat in the

United States," said Arshack.

That figure was mentioned in Richard's visa application only to assure US officials that Khobragade would

be drawing enough to pay Richard the $1,560 a month promised to her in the contract submitted with her

visa form, he added.

In effect, the two documents gave two different numbers.

The visa application had $4,500 and the employment contract submitted in support figured a sum of$1,560 - what was promised to Richard at $9.75 an hour, 40 hours a week, 4 weeks a month.

The office of US attorney of the southern district of New York Preet Bharara, which is prosecuting the

case, said it had no comments to offer on Khobragade's lawyer's allegations.

The number $4,500 has long been a matter of speculation, with some claiming the diplomat had

erroneously put her own monthly salary on Richard's application.

Though Arshack put that theory to rest on Monday, he didn't explain how this number tracked with the

sum actually promised and paid to the housekeeper - Rs 30,000 a month.

In a complaint filed in a New York federal court, Smith had alleged that Richard worked "far more" than 40

hours a week, and was paid less than $9.75 an hour.

In fact, the agent alleged, the housekeeper was paid even less than the amount that was promised to herin the oral agreement, the second contract: Rs 30,000 at $3.31 an hour - roughly $570 a month but still

$1,000 short.

Arshack claimed Khobragade paid $570 "directly to her husband as per the second contract".

"The balance of her income (about $1,000 per month) was paid directly to her in New York," the lawyer

said, adding, "There was no money withheld from her."

It wasn't clear, though how the lawyer's new line of argument would help Khobragade, who on Monday

received her UN badge allowing her access to the world body's facilities.

The UN has forwarded her application to the US for an identity card that would give her full immunity

unlike its truncated version she had as a consular officer at the Indian mission.

To complete the transfer process, the US will also issue Khobragade a G-1 visa required by foreigners

working at the US, from A-1 that is issued to regular diplomats.

Khobragade's new assignment is that of a counselor handling political affairs at India's Permanent

Mission, said a colleague, who did not want to be identified.

Indians like to see their housekeepers as they see themselves. So it was Khobragade's

income, not that much actually, of which she had to give a third to her maid, if not all? The

point is what American diplomats earn abroad, I guess that will be more than Indian diplomats

get. Indian diplomats in the US probably dont get the same salary as described for American

diplomats of her degree, how then to prescribe a salary for their personnel? Fine, the

minimum wage in the US is $7.25, in India it is $0.28 an hour on which it is impossible to even

leave the home in New York. Sangeeta Richard although was a member of the household, if

not family that's where the confusion arose. Devyani was like a mother to Sangeeta who

was unhappy she couldn'tgo out on her own in a foreign city. Sangeeta in my view should in

the very least have had some extra pocket money on a Saturday. There are also fewer plane

crashes on a Saturday night.

Devyani should be punished, What was the need tosign two different contracts with the

maid? Surely to get thevisa on fabricated grounds.

It can only happen in a fair country like USA that servant & master are treated equally in the

eyes of the law, & this job is done honestly by the law implementers.

In here the power rules. No voice for poor people.

Good on you USA.

Hypocrite

As per Article 48 of the Vienna Convention a Consular Officer of the sending state

(India) can hire a private servant at Social Security Norms of the sending state if the

private servant is a citizen of the sending state. Devyani is actually free to pay as per

Indian wages as well. We should not mix Adarsh scam so that US gets away with its

bullying. Devyani and the maid had a verbal contract and also the 'second' contract

was signed in India before flying to the US. The maid was free to disagree to the

contract in India itself. This kind of cheating is rampant in Kerala from where the maid

comes.

ci t izen

Agreed...that the amount shown in the visa application is khobragade's salary; now does that

justify that she should pay less to her domestic help...well, was the domestic help serving

only 'khobragade'? What about the other members in the house...the husband! was she not

doing household his chores as well? The husband is an american citizen...he should also be

charged with underpaying the domestic help! was he not availing her services??? or is he just

a parasite where his wife pays and he just enjoys the sevices without any responsibility and

accountability?? while ms. khobragade is charged with visa fraud, the husband should be

actually charged with paying less than the minimum wages. being the husband, isn't he part

of the household?

Anal ys eA bhi shek

What a load of rubbish. I can argue that 1. Food 2. boarding in her 4BHK apartment 3.

medical bills and 4. to-and-fro tickets from US to India should increase her "CTC" (An

american term, btw) manyfold!

Again, people like you are confusing issues. This is not about individuals like Devyani

or Sangeeta. This is about US and India and respecting diplomatic conventions.

Before becoming Jaichands and Mir Jafars we should understand what our actionentails. The request by 64 Indian MPs to US about denying Modi a visa also fell under

the same category. "We are so weak, Uncle Sam, please save us" Well if you don't

respect your own sovereignty, no one else will.

Surinder Sharma

Many multidimensional conspiratorial skeletons are tumbling by & by from cupboards of

secrecy.which ultimately excruciatingly cornered Devyani Khobragade.

Alleged discrepancies real or imaginary factual or tailor made are not at all comedy of errors

as all these implied & lead to various very serious implications for Devyani Khbroagade.

Every thing said & done ultimately all diplomatic political initiatives of USA regarding

beleaguered Devyani Khobragade have reached rock bottom nadir of degradation.

Some streamlined inbuilt mechanism must be evolved & put in place India & USA to address

such eventualities in future as no distressed under duress rag tag stitching measure will

patch the gaps accruing out of such unpleasant oddities.

Santosh Satpathy

Its the maid who put that sum while filing her visa application. The two contracts singed by

Devyani finds no mention of the sum $4500. Can't say about Adarsh scam ,but in this visa

fraud case Devyani got mistreated cause she was an Indian diplomat and no one takes us

seriously forget US after ten years misrule by the UPA govt.

Where is that written?

The lawyer seems to be attributing the mistake on the US Investigators in the case

who it is claimed made an error in the matter.

Apol lo

It is written in the article. some claim it was the "diplomat's" mistake.

BM

US authorities should have picked up two different amounts, one in visa

form and other in supporting document.

insas223

There are plenty of facts in the case that a good defense lawyer will get.

The US case made bt the DA is made quite in haste and designed more as a high profile PR

case than on substance.

BM

Why US authorities did not pick up two different amounts, one in visa form of $4500

and $1560 in the supporting document ? Seems to me that it was a very calculated

move by US authorities, including paying Richards family air fares etc.

insas223

That a is point that many are asking.

If the supporting documents of the sponsor was clear enough that she was not

in a position to support the maid,then how dd the Visa authority in Delhi clear

the application.

Was any additional income declared or husband's income tagged?Lot of facts US is not revealing very clearly.

IBCD

do you think the Americans care about this stupid IFS officer or the other stupid people who

are striving to make sure this IFS officer wiggles her way out of the mess she created. I am

sorry the answer is NO. there r much bigger problems over here to deal with!!! !! !! !! !

kuldeep singh

Ya right so this is her lawyers defence. come on man, Do you really think that either of the

two, the lady diplomat or the prosecuting team in the US of A will make such an error

(knowing that it could turn out to be a big issue around the world between the two countries).Grow up and face the real world. The lady has cheated; deceived the US government by lying;

thought that she would get away with it (with the Indian 'chalta hai' attitude) and did not

succeed in it, now cried out that i have diplomatic immunity--> her father probably pulls some

strings and they get her transferred to the UN mission. Everyone in India is trying to make it an

issue so that they can show the people here that they DO NOT accept such high handedness

from the US.

It is indeed shameful to see that corruption has even come into IFS officers, the foreign

ministry and secretaries etc! What could be more embarrassing for India? Shameful!

Sphinx

Devyani has a habit of making errors, while signing on affidavits and forms. She did similar

errors while applying for Adarsh Society flat and 10-15 other properties across India.

Why we have such incompetent people as consulate?

A person like her is a great threat to Indian immigrants who come for legal help at Indian

Consulate.

Hey hey. She's not being incompetent. She's being corrupt.

Sphinx

Unfortunately, as a patriotic person, I have to support Indian Govt's lawyer.

Otherwise I sincerely wish her 15 years in US prison for felony followed by 10

years in Indian jails for corruption in land deals.

The minimum we should ask for her termination from Govt service with

immediate effect, for such deliberate and grave error.

Pavithra

Well said!

And this will at least save the ties between the 2 nations, which is

dangling in air, thx to Devyani!

Satyamvada

Fraud runs in the family and lying is genetic for this woman. Her father has passed all his

chicanery to his daughter. It is surprising that all leaks and excuses are coming from her

father!!!

Ms. Gobarkhade is a serial offender habitual of lying to gain undue advantage. Sadly this crook

is now caught in a country where her deeds will get punished. Ms. Gobarkhade is a shame for

the Indian community in USA and she belongs in a prison.

David Hawks

SC/ST at any level thinks that to do corruption and Frauds are their birth right, They

are hardly hesitant to do, in case of complaints, they put the blame on people that

since they are SC/ST so we are being harassed. The same thing this so called quota

IFS father said on TV, had it been a non SC/ST would have been there, he/she would

have been released immediately. this so called SC/ST also shown on TV garlanding

Ambedkar photo. Is it a qualification or shelter or licence for these people to do anything in India as well as in over seas. Shame on corrupt congress policies for vote

bank.

Verum PETITOR

How can you make such comments without knowing what is happening there??

And why does she belong in prison.......who are you to decide that?

Maybe what is happening there is completely different from what picture is painted

infront of us!! !

Or are you one of those who pays their house help more than what you get paid??

Satyamvada

Please tell us what is happening with Ms. Gobarkhade, I am eager to know.

She belongs in a prison on two counts in USA: first, she willfully lied on a visa

app, and secondly and more important, she willfully and actively exploited the

maid by paying her slavish wages and treating her like a slave.

She belongs in a prison in India on two counts: first, she lied to get a flat

allotted to her in the Adarsh Housing society; and secondly and more

important, she possesses assets disproportionate to what she could have

earned as an Indian Govt. employee paid by the Indian taxpayer.

Please let us know what the true picture is - keenly awaiting.

No, I do not pay my domestic help more than I earn - that would be financiallysuicidal and won't last long! I do pay my house help what is required per local

laws and provide work conditions as prescribed. And, when I can not afford to

do that, I do not employ domestic help and do the chore/task myself. I am not

unique - that is how civilized people live all over the world including India.

Ms. Gobarkhade is a serial offender and therefore indefensible. She does

ladder is important. But that should not be at the cost of others'

careers.

Verum PETITOR

I think your name is registered as the witness to all misdeeds by Ms

Gobarkhade.

You were present when she enslaved the maid and treated her like a

slave making her work all day and paying her ridiculously small

wages??

Did you check the maid's account details??Ms Gobarkhade may be guilty....i am not saying she is innocent but you

cannot go around saying that she deserves in jail n blah blah !!!

I totally agree with your point when you said if she couldnt afford a maid

as per the local laws she shouldn'd have.

Satyamvada

I may not be a witness but could certainly be a juror! :)

Luckily I have not crossed roads with the crook Ms. Gobarkhade and

my opinions are based solely on public information and common sense

i.e. the filed indictment, published reports, public debate and my deep

and personal awareness of the two countries involved here - with bias

towards neither and love for both! So, to answer your question - no, I

have not checked the maid's bank account, but I am more than sure

that the investigators and the US Attorney have done that to be able to

convince a Federal Judge to order her arrest!

Ms. Gobarkhade is a serial offender and a crook who belongs in a

prison - first in USA and upon her release in India.

Verum PETITOR

Serial offender and a crook !!!!

These words prove your insanity and stupidity!!!

May truth prevail!!

Niranjan Desai

Adarsh scam is enough to keep her in jail.

ji tend er si ngh

So true, i support evry word here, She brought shame to indian, She must be thown

out of IFS.

Phungsuk W angdoo

She always seems to have trouble filling up forms. She, as an illegal beneficiary of Adarsh

Housing scam mentioned 1.8 lakhs an annum income; when the price of the apartment was1.2 crore. Highly suspicious.
