Pinki gets railway job back


Asian Games gold medallist Pinki Pramanik, who was accused of gender misrepresentation and rape by her live-in partner, has rejoined her duty at the Sealdah Railway Station after the Eastern Railway revoked her suspension.

"I feel relieved after the trauma which I had gone through. I am thankful to the Railways for reinstating me...I had appealed to get back the job on August 8 and I got the order immediately. I joined work yesterday," Pinki said here on Friday.

The former middle-distance runner, who had got a relay gold at the Doha 2006 Asiad, yesterday rejoined as a ticket collector in the station.

Pramanik working in Railway as a ticket collector said that her c0-workers at the Railways were supportive till last.

An Eastern Railway official said the suspension was revoked after she submitted the copy of her bail order.

"As per the central government rule, one is deemed to be suspended after 48 hours of custody. But after getting a bail, she appealed and the suspension was revoked," he said.
