Uttam Khobragade expresses gratitude towards people, media and the government - NewsX

The Ministry of External Affairs ( MEA) and Devyani Khobragade on Thursday dismissed any suggestion that she was willing to accept the plea-bargaining offer from the US Attorney Preet Bharara and stressed that their goal is to obtain G-1 visa that enables full immunity from arrest and appearance in court.

The US administration had given a plea-bargaining offer to Khobragade, which implies that the diplomat pleads guilty in the case. This effectively means that the US government is willing to waive her prison term while recognising it as a criminal offence. There were reports that Khobragade was open to this offer, which runs contrary to the MEA's efforts to get G-1 visa for her and insist on getting the charges dropped as she is innocent, according to both the ministry and the diplomat herself.
