Will add another scrap in these 40 pages
There are different perspective
Devyani's aspiration :1.How much people advocate for her but the real point is Devyani didnot wish to leave US even after expose of fraud and allegation of labour exploitation. She can do it quite easily long before, If we look at bigger picture then everything must be cleared to her long before, so also to MEA and arrest or action on the same must have imminent , may be she thought that she will escape this case and she did not expect US atorney will pursue case in such a way .
a. Being a Indian Diplomat she married to a US national that too having such sensitive post in US . Her family interest and personal interest lies in US.
b. Her husband kids all are green card holder , so ultimately she can also opt for a citizen of US after few years , whenever she wish.
c. GOI , media everyone fighting for her but her dream lies in US. Being a diplomat-govt. employee she must know she will get different assignment in different nation still she is crying for US post forget about her kids education, she even claim what if they opt for career there , how she can unite with them blah blah. After using India , hamper bilateral ties between two friendly nations she have aspiration that people will stood for her family now. That means India gave a opportunity to her to be MBBS on subsidised education , created an environment where a caste ( which she and papa using as defense every now and than ) belong to sweeper rise to represent India in USA as diplomat but her ultimate dream lies in US.
Reason why sangeeta fight back :Aspiration vs. Reality
Just like Devyani have dream of US , same like Sangeeta have aspiration of US so called soneki chidiya shown by Devyani.
1. The indictment clearly says she promised salary of 25000 + 5000 overtime. This salary contract she did in the neck of moment , before flying to US . Before that in verbal communication she must have gave assurance for better pay for overtime so also assurance of good working condition.
2. The other thing is in verbal conversation she told her regarding timing for work and Sunday , holiday etc but in actually she forced her to work without any time bound. Here also conflict of aspiration vs. reality rises. Available for 24 hour expectation of work is common in India where people exploit maid so it is normal to believe this thing is true as mentioned in indictment .
3. She went there with having certain aspiration but forced to work for long hour , the proportion of salary to working hour also decreased in proportionate level like 3 to 1 , where as actual contract mentioned 9 dollar per hour as per minimum wage. So here she also did not got even 3 dollar as promised.
4. She have certain aspiration , if she prepared to work for long hour with less pay then certainly she must not have that expectation in US . We can site 30000 as good amount of money but the fact is she can get half of that salary even working in India that too staying with her family in Delhi. Certainly the aspiration is not that she is going to some middle east or any third world country where she will get the pay on same working condition. So certainly she resented, certainly she wanted to come back from there which Devyani must have denied.
Sangeeta vs. Devyani Here the matter certainly dragged for prolonged period when some ego clashes of Devyani that how could a maid who is alien to a new country can challenge her being in such a powerful position . She just thought that she can save 1000 dollar by conning a maid and extract as much work as she wish , i think she could have get away with this also if she stick to working hour condition and holidays etc. that she mentioned in verbal contract. When there is a aspiration vs. reality of salary , working hour , environment have huge gap then certainly it is obvious any employee will revolt. Here in this case she did the same after working for more than a longer period, even she tried to come back India which certianly Devyani did not allowed reason may be she did lot of back paper work to get visa for her employee and secondly why she will again grind in the process of finding another English speaking maid again, third where can she buy such cheap labour in US , fourth she never expected in her wild dream that the event will take such turn .
Devyani and her father gave every false statement and use media, emotion of people. They just created an aura as if they are only speaking truth like Devbani. So here in this case i will believe in the sequence mentioned in indictment rather than their statement when their each and every statement indicate manipulation. Pick anything they claim cavity search , US authority deny the same - cant afford minimum wage fact say different story etc. She put question to people how she afford 9 dollar per hour as mentioned and committed in contract to a maid with less salary , the whole media agree with her even without bothering how conveniently she forget her husband income. So also it normal for us to be in disbelief how can a maid get this much salary of say 1500 dollar but it is a labour law just like Devyani get salary of 5000 based on labour law. Just simple when in Rome do as Romans do.
So as the case abruptly ended without conclusion, i prefer to believe on the indictment rather than Devyani who falsify each statement and ran away from facing judiciary. So all in all so called sone ki chida US achieved by the employee and the employer sulk herself in India. We sometime get name calling just because of some difference in opinion, some even question others commitment to country .Question is where is the patriotism of Devyani on whose name she fought this battle , when everyone vouch for pride and dignity of her , now she is worrying about her US entry rather than pride and dignity of India , cant her family settle in India cant her kids study in India and get the opportunity like she got or she is just trying to use the emotion and mood of country to pursue for her own personal gain? She is aiming for her own personal aspiration by using India and nothing else.
Question is - are these IFS bureaucrats are different clan and should treated royally ? after all we are living in a democracy not some kingdom , they represent people not some king so at least honesty is expected from them instead shamelessly try to escape law and create conflict among countries , intentionally drag the whole country for self defense and our GOI give assignment to such people who have already some tainted history . Even as per rule she did not enjoy diplomatic immunity , so why she should expect preferential treatment at all. Diplomatic immunity question is there to save diplomat to work in hostile countries, false cases, vendetta etc. not for pursue of personal goal for these royal people, not to use as shield from fraud, labour exploitation etc.

@K
Now papa khobragade already preparing for election after gaining so much publicity Its really an art how these two use every media , every resources of GOI , even no one question of verify their statements.
"She will be in Mumbai for at least a week," said her father Uttam Khobragade, who is reportedly in talks with political parties and likely to contest the next Lok Sabha polls.
Devyani also plans to visit the Ambedkar memorial at Chaityabhoomi in Dadar.
At last so called sone ki chidiya US is phurrr for Devyani , even as per rule they will loose both Adarsh flat and money they invested . Only thing is US should return back tax payers money $250000 bond they kept as surety.
