Diplomat's father threatens fast, says daughter innocent
December 19, 2013  18:44
The father of Devyani Khobragade today threatened to launch a fast if "fabricated" charges of visa fraud against his diplomat daughter were not dropped and her honour restored even as he dubbed as "blatant" attack on

Indian judiciary US attorney Preet Bharara's remarks after the incident.     Uttam Khobragade, a retired IAS officer, said the arrest of his daughter was part of a conspiracy and asserted no fraud was committed by Devyani and no false information tendered by her regarding the salary to be paid to her missing housemaid Sangeeta Richard.

He castigated Bharara for his comments which he said were against the Indian judicial system and "scandalised the process of justice in India"

"I will try to meet Sonia Gandhi, I will try to meet Manmohan Singh. If this justice is simply not acceptable, then I will go on fast," he said.
