New Delhi: Nirbhaya’s brother is now a pilot, thanks to Rahul Gandhi, reveals mother
New Delhi, Nov 3 (Agencies): Asha Devi, the mother of Nirbhaya who was brutally gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi in December 2012 and died days later, has thanked Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for motivating her son, who is now a pilot.
"He is a pilot now because of Rahul Gandhi," Asha Devi told the Mail Today.
Asha Devi’s 23-year-old daughter had come to be known as ’Nirbhaya’ (meaning fearless) in the days after her brutal gang-rape. The brutality of the crime was such that it shook the entire nation and triggered anger and protests on the streets. Even international media’s attention remained on India for several weeks post the incident.
All the six accused were later arrested. One of them died in jail while the rest four were convicted of the rape and murder and awarded death sentences. One of the accused, a juvenile, was convicted and ordered to remain in a correctional facility for three years.
Nirbhaya’s brother, like her parents, was deeply hurt and went into shock post the incident. He was in Class 12 when his sister was killed.
Asha Devi told the newspaper that Rahul Gandhi motivated her son, spoke to him regularly on phone and even sponsored his higher education.
"Rahul Gandhi was the one who counselled him and motivated him to achieve something good in life to support the family. After learning that he wanted to join the defence forces, Rahul asked him to pursue a pilot’s training course after completion of school," Asha Devi said.
After clearing his Class 12, Nirbhaya’s brother joined the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi in Rae Bareli, the Congress V-P’s parliamentary constituency.
He wanted to prepare for the Indian Army’s recruitment examination but later found it difficult, his mother said. She added that her son, who underwent an 18-month pilot’s training course, used to keep a track of the Nirbhaya trial.
"When he was studying, Rahul used to talk to him over the phone and taught him to adopt a ’never quit’ attitude," Asha Devi told the Mail Today.
Rahul even used to enquire about his training-cum-job post his studies.
In fact, Rahul’s sister Priyanka Gandhi also keeps in touch with the family. "She often asks about our health," Nirbhaya’s mother said.
Nirbhaya’s brother is currently undergoing final training with a commercial airline in Gurugram. He will soon be flying a plane, his mother stated.
