Kanpur: Woman granted bail 19 years ago, freed now after her son pays Rs 5,000 bond money
A woman in Kanpur, who had been granted bail 19 years ago, was finally released from jail this week after her son - born in a jail - grew up to earn enough money for her bond money.
Vijay Kumari is home after 19 years and all thanks to her son Kanhaiya who fought relentlessly against the system to have her back. In 1994, a court granted her bail provided that she pay Rs 5000 as bond money - an amount that Kumari couldn't furnish. "No one from my family or in-laws came for my help. I want to fight for my rights," said Kumari.
The only one who stood by her side was her son Kanhaiya. Born in Lucknow Jail, he lived with his mother until he was six-years old after which he was moved to a government-run home. Kanhaiya today works in a garment factory in Kanpur and every rupee that he has earned has gone towards securing his mother's release.
Last year, the Allahbad High Court, acting on a plea by Kanhaiya, ordered that Vijay Kumari be released at once. And finally, the mother and son were close to being reunited. Kanhaiya said, "I was very sad. I had no one by me without her. I worked very very hard to get the money that was required for the release of my mother. I am very happy now."
Why would her family not help her?
for measly 314 QAR...
is there no government agency that can a least help them to bail?
good son.... hats' off.
in this story? Technically?
Yup it is flor!
India?
We cannot see thoroughly the gap in between 19 years what happens , no one from her siblings like to help , only her son , maybe the problem she face put all their family in shame as what this country family values put more on weight. As for her offense is bailable since 1995 and she can't afford put a bond no one from her family help.Let say all people who where put in jail were not all saints... Lest that is only a bail , the case is not yet dismissed until she is proven guilty she will still serve her sentence.
Such a sad story ,, stupid laws
Mothers ,,, they deserve more than this
Hats off for the Son
Once that lady was quite rich, but then came some frauds, cheats from a tiny place in west and robbed her, stolen all her money, and left with all gold and jewelry she once had in abundance; lately we heard that looted money is finished and they’re now searching new places to con….
A sad story all round :( Glad she's finally been released.
Oh man r we living on 21st century? damn laws... it's unfair,for 5000 19 years kinda stupid ha!

I guess there should be something in law books which provides for an extended term in lieu of bond money...but 19 years...hmmmmm...stupid law indeed.
She spent 19 years in jail over a paltry US%159 ;o(
