On the 31st of June last, the Israeli immigration administration arrested and deported him along with the former ambassador Kanta Rizal, who escaped from the embassy without returning to the country and stayed in an illegal status.

I had acquaintances in Israel . I stayed there because they said it would not matter if I stayed here illegally," she said in a conversation with Kantipur. Couldn't go again. I did not want to come back as soon as I left because the condition of the house was poor.' She went from Nepal to work as a domestic worker at the ambassador's residence on December 24.

She was arrested last Thursday by immigration police while leaving work at a betavot (old people's home) in Jerusalem. "I left the ambassador's residence in Tel Aviv and went to Jerusalem." A friend who was in contact put him to work as a pilot there. I worked there for a month . I received 1 lakh 75 thousand rupees for that,' she said, 'The police arrested me on the road while returning from duty.'

She said that she was kept at the deportation center for 9 days by immigration. "It felt like a hotel," she said, "it had health treatment facilities." The police would come with a doctor at 5:30 in the morning.

He says that the court has deported him so that he cannot come to Israel for 5 years. He was issued a travel document by the Nepali Embassy to return to Nepal. "When I returned to Nepal, I did not meet the representative of the embassy," she said.

Former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal led the coalition government with UML and decided to recall Rizal, who was appointed ambassador to Israel after being appointed to the Congress quota. Rizal returned home from Israel on June 31.

Rizal was again recommended as ambassador to Australia by the KP Sharma Oli government after the formation of the Congress-UML coalition government. However, after being accused of leaving domestic workers in Israel, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not send her name to the parliamentary hearing committee. Foreign Ministry has recommended Chitralekha Yadav as the Nepali Ambassador to Australia three days after the domestic worker was arrested in the embassy.
