What a trip. A family's life destroyed by highly ambitious maid and equally ambitious attorney. Well..lets hope they all can move on from here.
Could be the start of her political career in India as some political parties have approach her and her father. It is interesting how in one country one can get accused of fraud, arrest warrant can be issued, etc., and in other country facts can be twisted and they can be portrayed as a victim of a superpower bully.

Income was entered 4500 USD per month in the application form. It is neither Devyani's income nor Sangeeta's income. Apart from salary, Devyani has income from real estate holdings in India also. All this is mentioned in the indictment at justice.gov
Employment contract submitted to US embassy stated that Devyani will pay at least the minimum prevailing wage in New York. The contract satisfied all the US requirements without which Sangeeta would not have got the visa. Before the flight took from India, Devyani asked the maid to sign another contract which stated the wages would be Rs. 25,000 with Rs. 5,000 for overtime. This second contract, of course, was not submitted to US authorities and Devyani hoped somehow that she would get saved by this second contract.
It is a clear case of visa fraud. Also Sangeeta was paid the wages according to the second contract which was not submitted to US authorities.
In the election year to show that India can stand up to US, Indian government has gone overboard to protect a guilty IFS official who knowingly and willingly broke US laws to enjoy a great Indian privilege called full-time house maid.
Again What US did was legally right but morally wrong. When thousands of big corporations are doing this exact same thing,right in new york/NJ, how many CEOs so far have been subject to cavity search?
Moreover this was getting discussed at high level there was arrest warrant issued over the maid in India. But attorney thought of creating dramatic escape of maid's family similar to Argo style. Why? India is not enemy country. Even after the Snowden revelations of hacking, etc India did not protest.
Clearly the driver had connections. The maid knew the laws within 6 months of landing in US and who knows she was planning this with the dear attorney while employed with the deplomat.
This was a cheap attempt to show mussle that to what was considered as strong relationship. India should really stop protesting and get the reality.

Lol! Liberal God Obama is smiling when another liberal having political ambitions is kicking MMS and Sonia. I think communist Kejri would give a clarion call to Delhi people to snoop on every US embassy employee the moment he steps out on the street of Delhi and punish them for breaking law. Kejri is fearless as he has sent Sheila behind bars for the life and sent Kalmadi to gallows. Unlike spineless MMS, he would take on USA head on.
By the way, another liberal couple got away for treating their maid in far worse way with a slap on wrist. As I am dumb (at least that is what Kejri crowd say about Me. Lol!) , I do not understand the justice and its myriad ways. May be the Boston couple who treated their maid in most horrific and inhuman ways bribed the prosecutor or may be they are onnected in “liberal world” at very high level.

USA diplomats/officials posted in India pay according to the prevailing local practices in the countries they are posted.
That means everything ultimately boils down to the ratio 1:60.
It is not difficult to imagine what USA will say or do if one INR fetches 60 USD.

When arrest warrant for the maid was issued in India there was no one present from the maid's side to represent her.
Looks like Preet Bahara wanted to make it a watertight case, so flew Sangeeta's family to USA. In India, Sangeeta's husband Philip was already intimated by local police and Devyani's father that he would be framed in a drug possession case according to this article http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?288935

Bas kya Raj bhai..look at the first comment from Satyamev_jayate...when did the police approach the driver..? After the blackmail call..after her arrest warrant.
Look I am not denying that Indian employers exploit employees...but this is a clear cut fabricated case...and this stuff happens in India quite a lot as well..a servant/maid falsely claiming to be victim and get sympathy.
If the lady was really given slave like treatement, then agreed...just because DK is IFSS officer and her dad did have poor track record does not mean she is evil. They caught her off guard.
Not sure if you own a small businees like Subway, just think of a case. Your trusted employee who also is your distance relative..you bring him here, provide him visa, food, education etc in leu of little less salary. Also because of relationship, you pay to his family in India which is not on record. This happens quite a lot if you visit any Subway. But in Subway the employees are unanimously happy and loyal to the employer (to you). Sometimes you ask them to do the double shift because of other issues.
Now one fine day you are having your dinner, and CRA, immigration canada shows up at your door with cops, they hand cuff you and do all the nasty stuff..just to find out that this employee of yours collected huge evidence over the past few months handed it over to these agencies who in turn collected additional evidence and there you are in jail all naked, hungry and without family...not sure of what hit you. Here you broke the law, on the record, you underpaid the employee, made him work double shift etc, etc. but typically you end up paying fine and given a chance to defend.
Additional evidence can easily be collected if the employee was approached by CRA agent within first month of landing and assured him to get him settled and bring family if the evidence was collected over 6 months.
Here the whole intent of the case was to punish DK. and once you decide to make someone criminal it does not take much to create evidence. Everyone breaks laws like speeding 10 kms over the posted limit, etc.
What was portrayed here as if the maid was beaten, starved and left with no food and clothes. Everyone has aspiration for better life, but at the cost of someone else's life..? come on.
How many more Indian Embassy AH SOULS have to get reamed by the US, before India will wake up??!! It is time some one tells them that GOOD TIMES ARE OVER.
14 more maids in US, threat of Devyani rerun looms...

We have been living in this country doing all or most of our own chores and hard work all by ourselves. Wahsing our cars, filling the gas, dropping our kids to the school and other activities, doing our own gardening, mowing the lawn, carrying the garbage and recycling materials out to the curb, shoveling the snow, fixing a few odd leaks, changing the bulbs and on occasions cooking our own meals too.. Why? Economy dictates that. So also the basic law of PLUMBING. WHICH IS.... You can't push a four inch turd through a three inch pipe.!!
WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS AND MAKE ENDS MEET. And then save some to look for a good future.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I am proud of you all DESIS.
