A Tragedy in Tarari

In Dullamchak village of Bihar’s Bhojpur district, a shockwave of grief struck when Nikki Devi was shot dead on November 6 amid election-related unrest. The horror of the incident was compounded by the fact that her 10-month-old son was nearby, helpless in the face of the violence.

Her husband, Rohit Rai, was left devastated — “Yesterday my wife was with me, today she is no more … now it is just me and my son,” he said, his voice heavy with pain.

Sonu Sood Steps In

When Ashutosh Kumar, national president of the Bhumihar-Brahmin Ekta Manch Foundation, described the tragic circumstances to Sonu Sood over a video call, the actor did not hesitate. Emotionally moved, he resolved that his Sood Charity Foundation would assume full responsibility for the child’s education — from KG to PG.

Ashutosh later confirmed this commitment online, expressing heartfelt gratitude: Sood’s support now offers a ray of hope in the family’s darkest hour.

More than Just Charity

This is not the first time Sonu Sood has championed education: in earlier years, he pledged to build a school for underprivileged children in Bihar.   His belief is clear education is a pillar of empowerment and dignity. 

A Symbol of Compassion

In a moment when the family is grappling with grief and demanding justice, Sonu Sood’s intervention brings not only practical support, but also a profound gesture of empathy.

By promising to nurture the child’s future via education, he demonstrates that heroism extends far beyond the silver screen — it lives in acts of kindness, in protecting the most vulnerable.

Looking Forward

As the case continues to draw public attention, the family’s hope for justice remains strong. Simultaneously, Sood’s pledge offers them something equally precious: a promise that their child’s future will not be defined by tragedy, but supported by compassion, care, and opportunity.
