India is taking retaliatory measures against the United States on Wednesday after an Indian diplomat complained of being stripped and forced to undergo “cavity searches” while in U.S. detention. The measures include a revision of work conditions of Indians employed at U.S. consulates and a freeze on the import of duty-free alcohol and food, Reutersreports.
On Tuesday, authorities removed concrete security barriers used to prevent vehicles from driving at high-speed near the U.S. embassy in New Delhi, and they would also offer some protection against a suicide-bomb attack.
