The US on Tuesday virtually justified the reported strip-search by New York police of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, saying “standard procedures” have been followed during her arrest.
“Diplomatic security, which is under the state department purview, followed standard procedures during her arrest,” state department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters at her daily news conference.
Harf was asked about media reports that 39-year-old Khobragade, the deputy consul general at New York, was strip-searched and confined with drug addicts after her detention. Media reports also said she was subjected to DNA swabbing.
