Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy counsel general in New York, who was previously arrested and strip searched in New York has been indicted on visa fraud and asked to leave the US. Khobragade was arrested last month on charges that she paid her housekeeper much less than minimum wage and lied about it on the maid's visa application.
That caused a diplomatic dispute between India and the US, India accusing US of infringing upon her diplomatic immunity. Devyani Khobragade flew out of the U.S. Thursday night. A US State Department spokesman said the charges against her will not be dropped upon leaving the country, and she will face them if she returns.
