The US Embassy in New Delhi is under siege by protesters over the handcuffing and strip-search of Indian consular official Devyani Khobragade when she was arrested in New York City on charges of underpaying her housekeeper and lying about it on a visa application. US officials are divided about the case, and it's turned into an international incident. Secretary of State John Kerry has conceded that "certain courtesies were not extended." But the US Attorney in New York, Preet Bharara, says he's sworn to uphold the law even against what he called the "powerful, rich or connected." The Indian government says the real dispute is between the consular official and the housekeeper.
