The Government will alert the Court immediately upon the defendant&#8217;s arrest so that an appearance before Your Honor may be scheduled. At present, the defendant is believed to be in India,&#8221; Bharara said in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>He said the indictment alleges that Khobragade made false statements to US authorities &#8220;to facilitate her exploitative employment of a household employee who was grossly underpaid and overworked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bharara said Khobragade is unavailable because her &#8220;whereabouts are known but (her) presence for trial cannot be obtained by due diligence or (she) resists appearing at or being returned for trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new charges accused Khobragade of visa fraud and making false statements about the visa application of her maid Sangeeta Richard.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-page indictment, filed by the office of India-born Bharara, states that the diplomat &#8220;knowingly made&#8221; multiple false representations and presented false information to US authorities in order to obtain a visa for a personal domestic worker. The fresh indictment filed in a federal court in Manhattan also charges that Khobragade submitted to the US State Department an employment contract of her domestic worker which she knew contained &#8220;materially false and fraudulent statements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The indictment said that &#8220;Khobragade did not want to pay the victim the required wages under US law or provide the victim with other protections against exploitative work conditions mandated by US law\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Knowing that if the US authorities were told the truth about the actual terms of her employment agreement with the victim, Khobragade would not have been able to obtain a visa for the victim, Khobragade decided to make false statements to the US authorities,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>Khobragade was arrested on December 12 on visa fraud charges and for making false statements regarding the visa application of Richard.<\/p>\n<p>She was strip-searched and held with criminals, triggering a row between the two countries with India retaliating by downgrading privileges of certain category of US diplomats among other steps.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomat, who was transferred back to India and is now with the Ministry of External Affairs, has refuted the charges against her.<\/p>\n<p>The re-indictment comes a day after 39-year-old Khobragade got relief from District Judge Shira Scheindl who said in her order &#8220;it is undisputed&#8221; that she acquired full diplomatic immunity at 5:47 pm on January 8 after the US State Department approved her accreditation as a counsellor to India&#8217;s mission to the UN.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling had, however, left open the possibility that US prosecutors could bring a new indictment against Khobragade which was swiftly carried out today.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two days after a New York judge dismissed the visa fraud case against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, a US grand jury on Friday again indicted her and accused her of &#8220;illegally&#8221; underpaying and &#8220;exploiting&#8221; her housekeeper Sangeeta Richard.
