Vatsala Shrangi in The Sunday Guardian:

“However, in a 19 December interview with another English newspaper, Agnes had said, “Sangeeta, 42, who hails from Kerala, married Philip 20 years ago after three years of courtship, then apparently left his house three days later because he was not earning enough. I had reservations about the marriage but my son was in a hurry. She was staying in Ghaziabad with her father and had no job then.”

The report also has Agnes saying “Sangeeta always wanted to work abroad. She knew I was working at a diplomat’s house and wanted me to look for a similar job for her.”

When Devyani’s father Uttam Khobragade was contacted on the matter, he said, “Even we did not know that Sangeeta’s father-in-law is employed with the US embassy. It was only this week that we found out from another source that he works as a driver with them.

The US embassy should have ideally informed us about this.”
