It has become clear that I cannot keep living in India and earning my livelihood," Dougnac said in a statement on Friday. India's federal home ministry and the foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Dougnac, who said she came to India 25 years ago and has worked in the country for 23 years as a journalist, has an OCI card through her marriage to an Indian citizen. French officials raised Dougnac's case during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to India last month. The French foreign ministry had no immediate comment on Friday.
