We sympathise with Krittika: Napolitano

New Delhi, May 27 (PTI) The US administration on Friday
expressed sympathy with the daughter of an Indian diplomat in
New York, over whose arrest India has voiced protest.
"I think we can all sympathise with this young woman who
has apparently been caught into a situation of her own
making," US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
said here.
Krittika, daughter of the vice counsel at the Indian
Consulate in Manhattan Debashish Biswas was arrested in
February on suspicion of sending obscene e-mails to her
teacher. She was released a day later after being found
innocent.
"The matter is now being litigated in our court. Under
rules in the United States, it is not proper to comment on the
matters that are in the court," Napolitano said.
Krittika is now suing New York City's Government for USD
1.5 million for what she claims was a wrongful arrest.
After her release, India had lodged protest with the US
administration on the manner in which Krittika was treated by
the US authorities.
