What diplomatic crisis?
Mayor Bloomberg yesterday shrugged off the bid by the daughter of an Indian diplomat to get a key to the city to make up for her wrongful arrest.
John Bowne HS senior Krittika Biswas plans to sue the city for $1.5 million after her alleged mistreatment in February by officials at the Queens school who wrongly accused her of cyberbullying.
To boot, her lawyer wants Bloomberg to give the 18-year-old daughter of the vice consul of the Consulate General of India a key to the city.
“I just saw it in the paper. I’m not familiar with the details,” Bloomberg said.
Ravi Batra, the lawyer for Biswas, said, “Unfortunately, [Bloomberg] hasn’t stepped up yet because he thinks this is going to go away. But it’s actually mushrooming.”
A spokesman for the State Department confirmed that officials there had been in touch with representatives at the Embassy of India in Washington.
