EXILE IN AUSTRALIA In 2008 she declared she was moving her base to Australia due to the poor treatment she received in India while working for the police. In July that year, she was demoted from the rank of Assistant Sub Inspector with the Punjab Police to a contsable. "I have now decided to call it quits. Enough is enough. I do not see any future here. With no good job and no future in store for me in my country and home state, I am sure Australia will be better for me.” (http://www.telegraphindia.com). By 2009 she had returned back to India (http://beta.thehindu.com, 06 Oct 2009) |
