Rani Jhulka was assigned to be her personal bodyguard. The two women spent much time together, fell in love with each other and decided to run away. As agreed, Khair was waiting at the Mallela Theertham Falls in Nallamala Forest. Unbeknownst to her, their plan was discovered and Rani was intercepted. Khair was strangled by a Thuggee garrotte. Her body was never found. (COMIC: The Swords of Kali)
