Protest over Indian diplomat arrested in US

A protest has taken place outside the US embassy in New Delhi after an Indian diplomat was arrested in New York last week.

Devyani Khobragade was handcuffed and strip-searched during her arrest, under immigration laws.

The US State Department says it is looking at whether proper procedures were followed.

Barricades have been removed from outside the US embassy in retaliation on Tuesday and a rally was staged outside the embassy on Wednesday.
