Dhaneshwari and Ajay have been released. Thanks for the immediate support to spread the word. But the fight is yet not over. As per the information, the police have told her that they would come back for her. Dhaneshwari was released yesterday night and Ajay was released this morning.

Spoke with Soni Sori and she had expressed her heartfelt gratitude to all who supported her in this battle to get her sister out and her sisters husband out. But the pressure is still not over. The attempt is to criminalise Linga - Soni's nephew - as the conspirator who executed the recent acidic attack on Soni.

Ajay was tortured in police custody and he was beaten badly by the police. They even tried to force him to accept that he was also part of the conspiracy design. Ajay now needs medical attention too. Linga is the key target point apart from Soni
