Poor, poor Deepak. Let me get my little violin out for you...
My name is Deepak, and I am so misunderstood!

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Deepak Kalpoe filed a complaint against Natalee Holloway’s mother Tuesday, claiming he felt he was threatened by her actions at his place of work, Fox News has confirmed.
Beth Holloway Twitty confronted him Monday at the Internet cafe where he works, spending about 90 minutes peppering him with questions. Kalpoe’s lawyer has sent her a letter warning that if she does it again, he will file for a restraining order against her.
From Scarborough Country (full transcript) last night's interview with the Holloway -Twitty family attorney, Benvinda De Sousa:
SCARBOROUGH: Get us up—get us up to date with this complaint that has been filed against your client, Beth Holloway Twitty.
DE SOUSA: Yes. Deepak Kalpoe filed a complaint today with the Aruban police, based on harassment. He obviously felt harassed by her visit to him, and he felt not at ease by her questions. And he wants to prevent her from visiting him again. Well, I can tell you one thing, that anybody who thinks that he has been harassed or is not as ease by anybody‘s questions—we live in a free country—it is a democratic country—can file the complaint, but the complaint has to be based on truth. It is my understanding that Beth went to visit. She developed some pictures. Deepak was there. And she just asked him some questions, and that is a far cry from harassment. So, I am not worried about that at all.
SCARBOROUGH: What is the standard in Aruba? You talk about living in a free country. Obviously, Beth is free to go develop pictures in an Internet cafe, if she wants. And at one point does it become harassment? At what point does it become stalking? Obviously, this is in a public setting. So, is the standard, if she goes in and she is peaceful and she doesn‘t threaten him, she can keep going back as much as she wants?
DE SOUSA: Well, basically, she can. I mean, she is free to talk to anybody she wants, and if the person she is talking to doesn‘t want to talk to her and feels harassed or threatened in any way, is free to file a complaint. But, then again, like I told you before, it is a far cry from that. It is a public place. It is an Internet cafe, where everybody can go and sit behind a computer and surf the Web or chat or do whatever they want.
SCARBOROUGH: What has her response been to this harassment charge being filed against her by Deepak, again, a guy who many people believe may have had something to do with Natalee‘s disappearance and possible murder?
DE SOUSA: I agree. Why should we believe what he stated in his complaint? I mean, he has lied before. He was one of the last three persons to be seen with Natalee. And he has no credibility whatsoever, so why would he have credibility in his complaint? I think the mother is much more to believe. And if—I would say completely to believe, and she is honest in trying to find answers as to where her daughter is at. And I understand perfectly that a mother would want to talk to one of the last persons to have been seen with her daughter, for all we know, alive. I would think it is rather embarrassing for Aruban’s that this kind of behavior be Deepak is what the world is seeing that represents the island. Not just standing up and answering some questions of a desperate mother, but rather to hide behind harassment charges.
