Dolly Kumari, a 17-year-old polytechnic student, mustered the courage to defy her family and decide the course of her life. She met Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das on Saturday and sought his help to stop her wedding.
"I want to study further but my parents have decided to marry me off," Dolly told Das and requested him to speak to her father, Kailash Kumar Pandit, who teaches at a government school in Koderma district.
Das who was meeting people at his residence on Saturday, was so moved by the girl's determination that he instantly called up Pandit and requested him to shelve Dolly's wedding plans for now.
Talking to TOI, Pandit said he was taken aback when a voice on the phone said, 'main Raghubar Das bol raha hu (This is Raghubar Das speaking)'. "I was shocked to receive the phone call from the CM, and later, I watched my daughter on television meeting him (Das)," Pandit said, adding that he was aware of her daughter's interest in higher education but could not do much because of financial problem.
