NAGPUR: The SSC board results this year revealed the incredible saga of a murder convict, who jumped parole and remained on the run for 12 years to educate his twin daughters. He remained in touch with the family while evading the cops, worked at a printing unit, and ensured his daughters got all the books, prodding, and father’s support they needed to study. He surrendered on May 12, after his daughters scored 86% and 83% in their SSC boards.
Shraddha and Shruti Tejne, aged 16, were honoured by NGOs and the prison department at Mangalmurti Lawns of Nagpur Central Jail on Thursday. The Tejne sisters, students of Santaji High school, Hudkeshwar Khurd Chikna, Nagpur district, did not go for tuitions. Their teachers took efforts for the twins, who showed unflinching determination to excel.
