| Indian-Origin CEO Who Beat Wife Could Do Just Month In Jail: Report

| An Indian-origin CEO of a Silicon Valley start-up who is accused of domestic abuse by his wife may end up serving less than just a month in jail after he was offered a plea deal, according to a US media report.
Neha Rastogi, 36, who worked with Apple, says her husband of 10 years, Abhishek Gattani, abused her during their 10-year marriage. In May last year, she allegedly recorded an incident of assault on her iphone. "You begin to hear the repeated thwacks in the presence of their then 2-year-old daughter," said The Daily Beast.
Mr Gattani, 38, pleaded "no contest" to beating his wife and was offered a plea deal last week in a California court that will probably allow him to serve less than a month in jail, The Daily Beast reported.
He pleaded no contest when Ms Rastogi approached the police. His charge was then reduced from felony assault to felony accessory, with an accompanying misdemeanour of "offensive touching", the report said.
Prosecutor Assistant District Attorney Steve Fein described the plea deal a fair outcome, noting that accessory after the fact is also a felony, though not a violent one that would place Mr Gattani at risk of being deported back to India.
