Protest in India Over Female Diplomat's Arrest in New York.

Devyani Khobragade.
There were protest in some parts of India due to the arrest, and alleged strip search of an Indian diplomat in New York City while India's national security adviser called the woman's treatment "despicable and barbaric." Devyani Khobragade, who is also India's deputy consul general in New York, is accused of submitting falsified documents in order to obtain a work visa for her housekeeper. 

Indian officials said she was arrested and handcuffed Thursday as she dropped off her daughter at school, and was kept in a cell with drug addicts before posting $250,000 bail. Part of the reasons for the protest however is due her allege “strip- searched” and is considered in India as “the most offensive and troubling part of the arrest.”
