Indian embassy New York. Her father had died & she wanted a visa for India. This is the obnoxious behavior of an Indian officer in the New York Consulate towards her. @DrSJaishankar @MEAIndia @PMOIndia you can't ignore this. pic.twitter.com/7ckWXnJqP0 Simply not done Have heard many horror stories of appalling behaviour at the New York embassy. This isn't the first time I would think. Strange, puzzling & unacceptable. However, my experiences were +ve. Staff were friendly, helpful - been to Chicago and NY. NY staff went out of the way to issue visa the same day, during a death emergency - even though I reached around NY consulate at noon or 1 pm. I remember in 2015, we had to drive Indian counsel from Minnianpols to Chicago in harsh snow-winter weather for emergency reasons. .why ?? As no one was answering the phone or responding to any emails. Had very bad experience when we reached there too This rude behavior is common in any Indian Consulate This is distasteful in so many ways. Both the visa denial and also the video.The embassy official is clearly under stress. Ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/EUjqaoVDq1

The video starts with a woman trying to ask the officer why she was being denied a visa even after submitting all the documents and the fees. The officer was seen returning the woman her documents. He also clearly states that he will not provide her with a visa. Throughout the video, the woman and the person accompanying her attempted to reason with the officer but he turned away and left the room. In the end, a security personnel arrived and asked the woman to stop filming the episode for security reasons.
