Northern India: Maelstrom

Brampton Dept: I am the victim, not her, but because she s in a wheelchair, she got all the sympathy, Shahi said by phone from Ludhiana, an industrial city in northern India, according to The Star. The couple s story, which has more twists and turns than a Bollywood tear-jerker, started in 2006 when Shahi, who then lived in England, met Brampton s Ashpreet Badwal online. In late 2007, Badwal travelled to India; they married and five months after Manjit Shahi arrived in Canada and allegedly abandoned his new bride, reigniting a maelstrom about fraudulent marriages, he has voluntarily returned to India. I was never given a chance to tell my side of the story, he said. As reported in the news.
