Indian women’s T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur is in news but this time for wrong reasons. The hard-hitting batsperson had to go through some hard questions during a sponsor event.
Harmanpreet Kaur was attending an event by B Natural Juices and Beverages from ITC Foods, the brand she endorses. However, the event turned sour for the cricket icon as reporters asked some tough questions on her fake degree controversy. Harmanpreet evaded queries on allegations that her educational qualification testimonials have been found to be “fake” by Punjab Police where she was appointed as DSP for her sporting credentials.
Harmanpreet was in Mohali to take part in an event, where she cheered on as a group of 572 girls performed minute-long jump squats to create a new record.
The star cricketer refused to come out of her vanity van for more than an hour as mediapersons waited for her clarification on the controversy regarding submission of an alleged bogus degree in order to procure a job with Punjab Police.
Finally, when she was persuaded to speak to the media, she declined to answer any queries with regards to her educational qualification. “I am aware of it (controversy), the government is taking care of that. I am hoping for a positive response,” she said.
Harmanpreet was earlier employed with the Indian Railways but was relieved from her duties earlier this year after she put in a request to join Punjab Police.
The Punjab government had also taken up the matter with the Railway Ministry to waive the bond condition and allow Harmanpreet, who is a native of Moga, to join as a DSP in Punjab Police from March 1.
Harmanpreet only last week had signed the Lancashire thunder for the Kia Super League in England.
