Punjabi singer Malkit Singh’s daughter jailed in UK for sex with student

The daughter of noted Award-winning UK-based Punjabi singer Malkit Singh MBE of "Gur Nalon Ishq Mita" fame has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment for having sexual relations with her pupil, a minor with learning problems.

Amardip Kaur Bhopari, 28, who began teaching at a school for children with learning difficulties in 2012, had confessed to the charges and was arrested in December 2013. She was sentenced on Friday. Her father has remained incommunicado ever since news of the case spread.

According to reports, Amardip's relationship with the 16-year-old boy, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia, started just before Valentine's Day in 2013. The British media reported that her sexual encounters took place in the school art room, her car and even at an industrial estate near the school. She used to shower gifts on him and invite him home.
When the boy started dating a girl his own age and told Amardip that he wanted to end their relationship, she tried to dissuade him.

Amardip's advocate told the court that she had deep remorse. Judge James Burbidge ordered that she be put on the sexual offenders' register for 10 years.
Malkit Singh was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2008.

Thai Princess Srirasmi steps down from royal post

Thailand's crown prince has divorced his wife, in a dramatic fall from grace for a senior princess at a time of heightened anxiety over the health of the country's revered but ailing monarch.
A statement published by the palace early yesterday in the Royal Gazette said Princess Srirasmi had relinquished her royal status, a move that ends her 13-year marriage to Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.
Princess Srirasmi will lose her royal title, "Mom", which translates as princess. - See more at:
Several of the princess' relatives have been arrested recently in a high-profile corruption scandal that has sent shock waves through Thailand's elite.
"The king has granted permission to announce that Princess Srirasmi, the wife of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, has informed in a written document that she has resigned from her royal status," the palace said, signalling an end to the marriage.
Analysts said the 62-year-old crown prince's split from his wife would deepen fears for the monarchy's future as Thailand's 87-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej enters the twilight of his reign.
In May, Thailand's military seized power after months of occasionally violent street protests, saying it needed to protect the monarchy and restore order to the politically divided nation.
The king has been largely confined to hospital this year and pulled out of plans to hold a public audience this month during his birthday celebrations.
Srirasmi married the crown prince in 2001 and had been expected to become queen. The couple have a nine-year-old son who was thought to be Prince Vajiralongkorn's most likely heir.
"This announcement will add a greater sense of uncertainty and anxiety among Thais over the future of their monarchy - not just with the current generation, but with later generations too," said Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a Thailand expert at Japan's Kyoto University.
The Crown Prince married Princess Srirasmi in 2001. Thailand's laws protecting the monarchy are among the strictest in the world. It is a crime to defame, insult or threaten the King, Queen, heir-apparent or regent and anyone convicted of doing so faces up to 15 years in prison for each offence. -
