Sonu Sood adopts education of a 10-month-old boy after mother killed in Bihar poll violence

As the grieving family continues to seek justice and cope with an unimaginable loss, Sonu Sood’s gesture has brought a crucial sense of security and hope to the child’s future.

In the midst of immense tragedy and turmoil in Bihar’s Bhojpur district, a glimmer of hope has emerged through actor Sonu Sood, who has once again shown why he is hailed as one of India’s true real-life heroes.

Stepping in with compassion, the actor has taken complete responsibility for the education of the 10-month-old son of Nikki Devi, who was brutally shot dead during poll-related violence in Dullamchak village on November 6.

Rohit Rai, the child’s father, devastated by the loss of his wife, shared the depth of his pain and helplessness, saying, “Yesterday my wife was with me, today she is no more... Now it is just me and my son. I do not know whether I will even live tomorrow. If Bollywood actor Sonu Sood adopts my son and takes responsibility for his education, it will be a great relief for me.”

When the heartbreaking case was brought to Sonu Sood’s notice via a video call by Ashutosh Kumar, national president of the Bhumihar-Brahmin Ekta Manch Foundation, the actor was visibly affected. Responding with emotion, he assured that the Sood Charity Foundation would fully support the child’s education “from KG to PG.”

As the grieving family continues to seek justice and cope with an unimaginable loss, Sonu Sood’s gesture has brought a crucial sense of security and hope to the child’s future. Once again, he demonstrates that true heroism goes far beyond the screen — it lies in compassion, courage, and standing up for those who need it most.
