U.S. Court Refuses To Dismiss Lawsuit Filed By Indian
Wednesday, 27 August 2014, 23:40 IST
The lawsuit details the circumstances that led to Biswas being handcuffed and her forced imprisonment for approximately 28 hours "for nothing."
Biswas was "forced to be processed through the criminal justice system, and spent over 24 hours in jail without being allowed to meet her parents or visited by senior Indian diplomats. All of this occurred, despite her actual innocence as this was a case of mistaken identity," it said.
It states that Biswas was discriminated against and falsely accused of sending offensive e-mails because of her ethnicity.
The school and police authorities "selected Krittika for false arrest and detention, malicious prosecution, suspension and disciplinary treatment due to her race and ethnicity as an Indian of South east Asian decent," it said.
Batra said a jury trial in the case would serve to expose systemic flaws in the country's public school system's disciplinary process that put 1.1 million kids at "risk of being falsely charged, falsely arrested and accepting undeserved punishment as they can't afford the fight we are fighting" on Biswas's behalf.
"Until Krittika receives a full measure of justice, including, paying for her exploded legal fees due to the defendants actions, this case will not go away. Krittika's respect will be redeemed in full measure," he said.
