Antara would like to bring formal charges of harassment and intimidation against the Class of 1995. (This was not relevant to any Indian authority, as would become clear in the rest of the blogpost.)
In early 2008, soon after moving to Delhi, Antara's spouse had taken a bus back from work. He was coming back alone, Antara work hours were different. The man seating next to him on the bus kept consuming liquor out of a bottle, other passengers seemed unperturbed.
In 2009, one of Antara's colleagues (from Lucknow) had asked her, in a tone meant to ridicule and humiliate, "Your spouse didn't ride a motorbike?"
It seemed now that the two anecdotes above added to a crime incident in the US, the deaths of newly-weds Jeremy and Angel Seay, who were killed in Enterprise, Alabama, when their motorbike was hit by an intoxicated individual called Freddie DeLeon Perez in June 2009.
The above was not merely a crime from 16 years ago. It had been turned into legislation (in summer 2025) under Joe Biden and now Donald Trump, without any investigation as to why its clues were enacted in Antara and her spouse's life around the same time as the accident in 2008-09. In a country the size of the United States, why did the US Congress consider Jeremy and Angel Seay's case as one that merited a law named after them?
The Jeremy and Angel Seay legislation was no ordinary law. Since the offender was an alien, he was to be deported as well on charges of drunk driving and homicide. One thought the United States was a country made of immigrants, what about the charges constantly brought against the NRIs including those from Asansol AG Church? Did the US Congress legislate only against the Hispanic people?
There were several explanations offered for the Jeremy and Angel Seay legislation crisis.
i. "This was the work of the Class of 1995, they went around, with groups of NRIs, creating a body of threat, where one would have to read the inherent meaning."
Since the parody and ridicule was aimed at Antara's spouse, how would the Jeremy and Angel Seay legislation affect him? What harm did the Class of 1995 wanted done to him?
ii. Another explanation suggested was that it was Joe Biden and Donald Trump who wanted the Pentagon to reveal the names of US military officials who were familiar with the Carnegie-Rockefeller Network.
"These were pressure tactics, maybe the Class of 1995 wanted to be sure before the Mumbai tycoons started taking forward the 1957 lease against the Treasury."
iii. The third was about 'outing' the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, it was a navy-themed park. "The NRIs always wanted to find and trap those that assisted the legit lease and African Americans had identified Salem Maritime, since it had historical material on trade in cotton, sugar, rums and slave".
Did Salem Maritime trade in slaves? Or was it a museum? How many such museums and national parks in the US had the Class of 1995 identified? The Class of 1995 were Indian citizens who collected information in the US to cause harm, if they handed over the information to the Mumbai underworld or infamous movie stars (say those that had been imprisoned etc), would it remain within US jurisdiction or Indian jurisdiction?
As Salem Maritime or other museums and national parks were investigated by Donald Trump, Class of 1995 and the Mumbai tycoons and movie stars, would Antara ever be defended against such atrocities?
