A 1999 batch IFS officer, Devyani Khobragade, India's Deputy Consul General in New York, was arrested on December 12 by the State Department's diplomatic security bureau, and then handed over to the US Marshals Service (USMS).
USMS confirmed that Khobragade was subjected to a "strip search", the same as other arrestees.
"As for the type of search, I can only confirm that she was subject to the same search procedures as other USMS arrestees held within the general prisoner population in the Southern District of New York, which in this case was a strip search."
"While in USMS custody, standard arrestee intake procedures were followed. The same search procedures as other U.S.M.S. arrestees held within the general prisoner population in the Southern District of New York. She was placed in the available and appropriate cell.”
"The arrestee was placed in a cell with other female defendants awaiting court proceedings."
"The USMS has reviewed its own detention of arrestee Devyani Khobragade and has determined that the USMS, Southern District of New York handled Khobragade's intake and detention in accordance with USMS Policy Directives and Protocols."
- Nikki Credic-Barrett (USMS spokesperson)
