Nirbhaya’s younger brother is flying high — literally. He has joined a private airline after completing his commercial pilot training and his parents cannot stop thanking Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for making it possible.
Nirbhaya’s father told IANS that the Congress leader helped the grief-stricken family in “every way possible” after the brutal gang rape of his 23-year-old daughter on December 16, 2012 and her death 13 days later.
“My son [he refused to name him] is now a pilot. He has joined IndiGo Airlines,” the father said.
He said his son after completing his Class 12 joined the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, a government-founded autonomous institute in Rae Bareli, the Lok Sabha constituency of Rahul Gandhi’s mother and Congress president Sonia Gandhi. “Rahul Gandhi made it possible. He looked after us after the incident,” the father said. “He helped us emotionally. He helped us monetarily. Otherwise, you can understand, how is it possible for us to make our son a pilot?”
