Crowd gathered outside Tihar jail ahead of Devangana, Natasha, Asif release
“I can’t wait to hold her and feed her favourite food when she gets home,” said JNU student Devangana Kalita’s husband Andre Ling, who welcomed her at Tihar Prison Complex on Thursday evening after completing court formalities. Wearing a blue mekhela chador – a traditional attire of Assamese women, gifted by mother – Devangana stepped out of Tihar Prison gate number 3 along with Natasha Narwal a little after 7 p.m. on Thursday evening and hugged her husband with a wide smile “It’s been a long and difficult year of waiting with so many twists and turns. I am finally relieved,” said Mr. Ling. Around 6 p.m., JNU students started gathering outside Tihar for the three to be released by 7 p.m. The crowd grew bigger with their close friends and family joining.More Related News
