"I had met several top politicians. But they were for my official role. I don't know anyone in the government (personally). They would not remember UAE consulate secretary. Please don't kill me like this," she said, about being rumoured to be a power broker.
On the cargo, she says: "I have nothing to do with gold smuggling. I was directed to handle the baggage by the Consulate." "The issue here is diplomatic cargo, who sent it, who's behind it. Please investigate that."
