The heartwarming story of a boy born in prison who fought for the freedom of his mother once he was released from his juvenile home
|
He was named Kanhaiya for a reason and has lived up to the mythological significance of his name in every way.
All of 19 years old, the boy was born in prison, much like the Hindu deity to whom he owes his name, in 1994.
His mother, Vijaya Kumari, 48, was arrested in 1993 in a case involving the murder of a neighbour at Aligarh's Mahrauni village.

After Kanhaiya's birth, the mother and son were sent to Lucknow Nari Niketan.
Abandoned by her husband and family, Vijaya was granted bail by court in 1994 but failed to deposit the two bonds of Rs 5,000 each demanded as surety.
At the age of 11, Kanhaiya was sent to a juvenile remand home in Lucknow, where he spent seven years before his release late last year.
Once released, he rushed back to their village and retrieved from his uncle lands that were rightfully his.
He then immediately moved the Allahabad High Court for the release of his mother, who was finally granted bail and released on May 5.
"Vijaya's story is amazing. Her son, born in jail, finally brought her out," said Nari Niketan superintendent Shashi Srivastava.
