06:49 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAn Indian diplomat’s daughter is suing New York City’s government for $1.5m after she was wrongfully arrested on suspicion of sending obscene e-mails.<\/p>\n
Krittika Biswas was alleged to have sent the e-mails to her high school teacher in February. She was subsequently cleared of the offence.<\/p>\n
Her lawyer said that she was unlawfully held by the US authorities for more than 24 hours after her arrest.<\/p>\n
There has so far been no comment on her claim from the US authorities.<\/p>\n
Ms Biswas – the daughter of the vice counsel at the Indian consulate in Manhattan – claimed that she was ill-treated in prison and was forced to go to the toilet in front of other prisoners.<\/p>\n
Her lawyer Rajiv Batra said her arrest on 8 February was a violation of international law, US federal law as well as US state and city law.<\/p>\n
He said that the 18-year-old had diplomatic immunity that prevented her from being arrested. US authorities are reported to have argued that immunity did not extend to family members of a diplomat.<\/p>\n
She was eventually allowed back into the Queens’ John Bowne High School when it emerged that she had not sent the offending e-mails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
