NEW YORK: The daughter of an Indian diplomat government is suing New York for $ 1.5 million for what she claims was a wrongful arrest on suspicion of sending obscene emails to his teacher at John Queens' Browne High School .
Krittika Biswas, daughter of lawyer service at the Indian Consulate in Manhattan, Debashish Biswas, also claims he was mistreated in prison.
Biswas claimed that she was not allowed to go to the bathroom for a long time when he was in custody at the station 107. "In the end, I had to go in front of everyone," Biswas said, referring to a small bathroom that was in the cell occupied by others.
His lawyer Rajiv Batra, said his more than 24 hours of detention on February 8 was a violation of international law, federal and state laws and city. Batra said neither Debashish Biswas, father of the child, or the Consulate General of India, Prabhu Dayal, they were informed of the arrest.
Batra also claimed that Biswas, 18, had diplomatic immunity prevented her from being arrested. However, the Consulate General, said the U.S. authorities informed him that immunity does not extend to members of the family of the diplomat. "That cut no ice," he said.
It later emerged that Biswas did not send the emails and the school authorities finally allowed to return to school after the real culprit was found.
"It is based (the arrest) for basically nothing," said Krittika Biswas, adding that the school does not suspend or stop the Chinese students who actually sent the emails. "I do not know why he was not arrested ... the director pushed for my arrest."
Biswas said that a policeman told him that if he did not confess, she would have to spend time in jail with prostitutes and people with HIV. "I was sitting there (school) with handcuffs on," he said.
Wives, Batra said, were so tight that "it was like a torture device."
The NYPD did not respond to calls and an email requesting a response.
Batres major kwaito criticized Howard and Kim, Jamie Ross, who was the recipient of the emails. "They did not do due diligence before getting arrested," he said. "They were wrong."
Krittika said he could not drink water from a water source because it was someone else's vomit, and although it was very cold, I could not use the blanket because it was very dirty.
Dayal said Krittika deserved compensation from the government. "She has been the subject of psychological torture and physical torture," he said. "This has made his mind for the rest of his life.
Dayal said, however, that the incident is not related to Indo-US relations. "This is an aberration ... an unlawful act of local officials," he said.
Batres suggested that Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Biswas' a key to the city "to" unruffled some ruffled feathers. "
