MUMBAI: Entrepreneur and founder of All India Mahila Empowerment Party (AIMEP) Nowhera Shaikh has founded a group to help undertrials, especially women, languishing in jails for want of legal aid or bail amount.
Called Heera Law Associates, this firm will work for the poor prisoners who were jailed for petty crimes or are first time offenders. Many undertrials can get bail if they are provided legal support and bail amount, but not many good Samaritans come forward to help these inmates.
