SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 6 –
Doctor
Hemant Patel
hired Thajaswi
Bandikatla to
work in his
medical
practice in
The Bronx
after her J-1
waiver and
H-1B Visa
approval.
Things
went badly and
he sued. She
counter-sued
accusing Patel
of trafficking
her.
On March 6,
the trial
began before
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Jed S. Rakoff.
Inner City
Press was
there.
Patel's lawyer
called the
trafficking
claim
nonsense.
Judge Rakoff
told him he
had one minute
remaining for
his opening.
He
bought it in
on time, and
the trial
continued.
The
case is Patel,
M.D., P.C. v.
Bandikatla,
M.D.,
18-cv-10227
(Rakoff)
