Despite this success, he ended up living on the streets of Blacktown, Sydney, as his mental health declined.

He is now receiving treatment with support from the local Punjabi community, while his mother, Harmeet Kaur, has travelled from India to be by his side.

Speaking with SBS Punjabi, Kaur said, “While living in Australia, Preet Anmol developed depression and began seeking financial help from his family in India”.
