Who, What, Why: Does Devyani Khobragade have diplomatic immunity?
By Tara McKelvey
BBC News
If you are a diplomat abroad, you can get away with murder.
The provision is spelt out in treaties. The 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations says diplomats are immune from prosecution in a host country if they break the law.

The Answer
Deputy consul general Ms Khobragade does not have immunity for crimes she was accused of, say experts
Indian officials say she has been moved to the UN
If the transfer is approved, say experts, she would have immunity for future charges
It does not matter if you are working or off-duty (though back home you can be prosecuted). If you are a consul, however, you are only shielded if you break the law while you are working.
For that reason, say experts, Ms Khobragade, as deputy consul general, could be prosecuted for the crimes she has been accused of. If you are a consular general, you have "consular immunity", rather than "diplomatic immunity".
Under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), individuals are protected from a host country's laws only when the offences are related to their consular duties.
There are different rules for ambassadors because of their responsibilities. A consul general helps people from their home country with visas, trade and other issues. Meanwhile a diplomat works directly with people in the host country.
"If a state could arrest a diplomat, it would interfere with their ability to do their job," said Duncan Hollis, editor of the Oxford Guide to Treaties.
Hiring a maid
According to federal-court documents, Ms Khobragade claimed on a visa application that she would pay a maid, Sangeeta Richard, $4,500 (£2,746) a month. That is the minimum required by labour laws.
In fact, said US investigators, two contracts were drawn up. One paid Ms Richard $573 per month.
Protestors at US consulate with signs
Protesters at the US consulate in Hyderabad say Ms Khobragade was treated unfairly
Hiring a maid is not part of a deputy consul's job, as Mr Hollis said. Therefore a consular general could be prosecuted for offences relating to the hiring of domestic staff.
"Diplomats get immunity for everything - your maids, your murders," he said. "But if you're consular general and you're off the clock..."
Indian officials said they have moved Ms Khobragade to the United Nations. UN officials have to accept her credentials. In addition US state department officials have to sign off.
"By changing her status, Indian officials are signalling that they understand she would not be protected by consular immunity," said Mr Hollis.
Ms Khobragade is part of India's foreign service, said Shuja Nawaz, director of the South Asia Center at the Atlantic Council in Washington. She belongs to the mid-level part of the bureaucracy, not the top.
Yet the arrest of Ms Khobragade has become a sore point between the US and India. "It's a symbolic issue of the way she was treated," he said.
'Take a deep breath'
In some ways, said Mr Hollis, the reaction in India evoked the time when International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was indicted on charges that included attempted rape. The case was dismissed in August 2011.
"In France they were outraged at the way he was treated - the perp walk," said Mr Hollis. "You see some of that in India. It's, 'hey, this is a deputy counsel general. What are you doing treating her this way?'"
Mr Nawaz said the controversy over Ms Khobragade has become "a very big distraction" - and is hurting US-India relations. "Both sides need to take a deep breath and step back."
So far that has not happened.

Remember the PAP grassroots member's mother and daughter who reversed their SUV into a taxi?
All fucking Indian nationals are liars, cheats, frauds. murderers and rapists. They dont deserve pity.
They think that the louder they scream, the righter they are.

In summary from this case:
- woman underpaid heavily the maid, treating her like a free slave
- cover up her wrong doings by proclaiming that USA had no right to search her "as she has immunity".
- on finding that she does not have immunity, they quickly backtrack and transfer her to be higher ranked diplomat (mind you all this after the fact that she was already arrested)
- demanding that USA accept that now she is now a diplomat and should be released
- protesting, publishing and threatening loudly using paid people from the streets
How much more stories can they make? Incredible India, don't you think?

Rich people all over the world treat the poor and disenfranchised like shit...it's a known trait....from abudhabi to zimbabwe. Without any reprisals.
We all know how maids are treated here, but at least you see some amount of justice being meted out.

I call this "THE KOBRAGATE SCANDAL"
This sort of thing usually happen to officials from corrupt nations.
India and many other Asian nations are the world's most corruptted..
Look at how their officials are respected all over the world? Generals being denied entry to first world nations becos of their corrupt life-styles and bad human rights activities.
0The US Attorney did a good thing for in America, no one is above the law - no matter how high position you hold. Not like in some other nations where even kids of these people are better treated then others.
Even Indian actors have been thorougly checked in the US before and the US continues to do so.
I wonder what sort of smuggling activities are going on in the missions of such corrupted nations abroad.
They may even be bringing in controlled drugs as "diplomatic baggage".
USA please be aware.............
