ABC journalist chose to leave India despite being granted visa: Australian officials

The Hindu  

Australian authorities on Thursday acknowledged that India had granted visa to Avani Dias, chief of bureau of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, though she had “chosen” to leave India by that time. Ms. Dias claimed last week that she had to leave India “abruptly” as she was told that her “visa extension would be denied”. The Australian version was corroborated by Indian sources, who said that Ms. Dias was told nearly two weeks before she left India that her visa application was being processed and that the document would be delivered to her. Ms. Dias had said that the Indian authorities were upset over her reporting on pro-Khalistan activists in Punjab and that she was told that her reporting had “crossed a line”.
