Krittika Biswas speaks to the media after sueing NYC for $1.5mn - PTI.
The US government has joined issue with an Indian diplomat's daughter who is suing New York city for a whopping $1.5 million for false arrest, saying family members don't enjoy diplomatic immunity.
Krittika Biswas, an 18-year-old 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 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.
It may be so, but detention of a School going kid, without notifying the parents, for over 24 hours, hand-cuffing, denying to allow to go to toilet and all smack of racial prejudice - both on the part of the School as well as the NYPD.
Another million dollar question is, why that Chinese kid whom they found to be the culprit of sending out hate-mail to the teacher not been disciplined?
