Indian Diplomat Accuses Maid She's Accused of Underpaying of Trying to Blackmail Her

The case has sparked a diplomatic furore between the United States and India, which is incensed over what its officials described as degrading treatment toward Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general in New York.
