Ex-bandit Seema Parihar casts her vote

KANPUR: Former dacoit

Seema Parihar

waited outside a polling booth at a basic school in her native

Dibiyapur village

in

Auraiya district

for her turn and also prompted others to cast their vote. Auraiya district went to polls on Sunday.

During the 19 years that she was a dacoit, Seema was an active member of the dreaded Lalaram gang and then the Nirbhay Gujjar gang. She is facing trial in a dozen cases in Etawah, Auraiya and Jalaun districts.

"Now I am a changed person," she said while showing her inked finger.
