Kalpana Chawla award winners Rajalakshmi and her daughter D Shivaranjani received a warm welcome from the people of B Udaiyur village near here. The fearless duo was chosen for the award after they caught a robber who entered their house in February this year.
Talking about the case, advocate A Gunasekar, who was the first to send a requisition letter to the chief minister’s office recommending the women for the bravery award, said, they caught one robber, Murugan, while another one, Arul, ran away.
“Based on the information got from Murugan, Bhuvanagiri police arrested Arul after some days and both were lodged in the central jail. Police also recovered the stolen jewels from the robbers. Last month, the robbers got bail and were out of the jail. The case is going on in the Parangipettai court,” he said.
On Wednesday night, hundreds of people gathered in front of the village panchayat office with garlands and shawls to receive them. The residents of the village said they were glad that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa chose “the right persons” for the award.
“We are all proud that the two women of our village received the award for bravery from the CM. They set a good example for all the women in our country. We also thank Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for choosing them for the award – in a way the Chief Minister has honoured our entire village,” panchayat president Mahadevan said.
Rajamansingh, a resident of the village, said, “Two women fought against the robbers, who were stronger. Undoubtedly it was a brave act. They deserved the award. All the residents of the village are very happy.”
