MUMBAI - The father of the Indian diplomat arrested on visa fraud charges in New York and later released on a bond said the incident smacked of “racial bias” and sought an apology from law enforcing agencies. Uttam Khobragade, father of Devyani Khobragade, also claimed that it was a clear case of “conspiracy” to harass his daughter and damage the reputation of the Indian government. “It is nothing but a racial bias. It is simple and clear racial bias to harass the Indians,” he said. He requested the Indian government not to take the matter lightly. (PTI)
