The most interesting bit of her Facebook post comes when she talks about what she describes as her toughest case - one that involved a double murder and required her to go undercover as a maid to solve it.
"For 6 months, I went undercover as a maid to live with the woman who was suspected of being the murderer," says Ms Pandit.
"But once, during pin-drop silence, my recorder made a 'click' sound. And that's when she started doubting me. She refrained me from going out at all."
