A day after Rupam Pathak, the school teacher who stabbed Bihar BJP MLA Raj Kishore Keshari to death on Tuesday, was sent to 14-day judicial custody, her mother Kumud Mishra has decided to approach the Patna high court to seek justice for her daughter.
In her 60s, Kumud Mishra has come forward openly to fight for justice for her daughter and made it clear that she was proud of her daughter for what she did as an exploited woman. "I am proud of her and will seek justice for her," Kumud said.
Kumud told
rediff.com in Patna, "I have made up mind to challenge the Rupam's case in the high court for justice. I appeal to the women of Bihar and outside, particularly those who have been exploited, to come forward to support Rupam and raise their voice against exploitation. It is high time women fight against injustice and exploitation."
Kumud said she had already submitted a petition to the State Human Rights Commission and the State Women's Commission seeking justice for Rupam.
"I will not sit silent and pray, I will fight
for justice for her," she said.
