Exclusive: Confident I Will Get Justice, Devyani Khobragade Tells NDTV

• I am thankful to the country, the government and the Indian Foreign Service officials for rallying behind me
• I don't feel abandoned. Have full faith in government and I am confident that I will get justice
• Don't know how negotiations are progressing in my case
• Diplomacy doesn't play out in public domain, I'm sure things are moving
• I want the crisis and its impact on my life should be resolved
• I don't want to be in headlines, want Indo-US ties to be better

On her arrest last December:

• I dropped my kids to the school. When I came out, a man and a woman came to me and said they have arrest warrant against me.
• I was arrested outside my kids' school
• I asked for my lawyer, the security officials showed me handcuffs
• I said I am a diplomat and have some immunity, I won't be arrested. They then took me in their car.
  
• My boots, accessories were taken away and I was handcuffed in the car park and taken to the US Marshal's office
  
• Then the entire process started and I was strip-searched. I was cavity-searched, treated like an ordinary criminal

On charges of underpaying her domestic help in US, visa fraud:

• I paid my domestic help whatever she was entitled to under US laws
• I actually paid my help more than what was written in contract if all perks are calculated
  
• A portion of my domestic help's salary was also paid in India. And I have her signature as proof.
  
• My domestic help wanted to live outside, bring her family to the US
• Americans don't have a case against me
• US officials didn't probe case properly

On vigilance case by India:

• The second indictment is like a hanging sword on me; it's unfair and unjust
• A plea bargain in US would have set a wrong precedent for my colleagues
• I never hid the fact that my kids have both Indian and US passports
• My kids were born in the US and are considered US citizens
