A CIA agent posed as a maid to spy on an Indian diplomat, father of Deputy Consul General Devyani Khobragade said on Saturday. Khobragade was arrested last week in New York on charges of visa fraud and making false statements, but her arrest and allegations of mistreatment by U.S. authorities has angered India. Prosecutors say Khobragade submitted a false visa application for her housekeeper, Sangeeta Richard, claiming she would make $10 an hour but only paying her $3.31 per hour.
