A US court has approved a magistrate's award of $1.5 million compensation to an Indian maid who had accused a former Indian diplomat and her husband of harassment and "slavery".
US District Judge Victor Marrero "adopted in entirety" the report of US Magistrate Judge Frank Maas recommending payment of $1.5 million compensation to maid Shanti Gurung for the alleged "barbaric treatment" and "emotional distress" by Indian diplomat Neena Malhotra and her husband Jogesh.
Neena Malhotra had employed Gurung as her domestic help for three years between 2006 and 2009 when she was serving as a counsellor at the Consulate General of India in New York.
