A day after the Punjab government withdrew the deputy superintendent of police (DSP) rank from India women\u2019s T20 team captain Harmanpreet Kaur after her graduation degree was found to be fake, the cricketer\u2019s father on Wednesday said she will complete graduation if the government gives her time.<\/p>\n
The state government has said Harmanpreet can be retained in the police department only as a constable.<\/p>\n
Harmanpreet\u2019s degree was found to be fake in a vigilance inquiry by Chaudhary Charan Singh University (CCSU), Meerut. The issue came to light when the Punjab Police contacted the varsity to verify her credentials.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t say whether she will continue in the department as a constable. We have not received any written orders of demotion from the department,\u201d her father Harmandar Singh said.<\/p>\n
Asked about the degree, he said that he doesn\u2019t know much about it as Harmanpreet did what her coach had advised her to do. \u201cShe had also appeared in examination in Meerut and got the degree on her coach\u2019s advice. She had got a job in the railways on the basis of the same degree,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Her former coach Kamaldeesh Singh Sodhi said, \u201cThe government should give some relaxation to Harman as it was her coach\u2019s fault as he advised her to pursue graduation from Meerut.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government should retain her as an honorary DSP and give her time to complete her degree,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
