She had also said that she had visited Pakistan with a religious Sikh group and that for past one year, she has been regularly visiting Bangkok, Thailand from where she purchases cloths, TVs and other goods to sell in India. CBI also told the court that Kaur disclosed that "in September 2010, her father was arrested by the Bangkok customs after recovery of 50 bottles of cough syrup from him and since then she has visited the country four to five times but due to shortage of money, could not get her father released." "On February 10, she was sitting outside the Indian Emporium when Amrik Singh told her to conceal fake Indian currency on her person and take it to India for which he will pay Rs 50,000," the probe agency said. According to DRI, Kaur had told its officials that she agreed to do so for greed of money. On February 16, Amrik met Kaur at Bangkok airport and gave her the fake notes and also the shin pads to conceal them. Amrik has also been named in the FIR.
