Shanti Devi, life partner of Comrade Mahendra Singh and mother of Bagodar MLA Comrade Vinod, passed away on 16 January 2022. She passed away on Comrade Mahendra’s martyrdom day. Comrade Shanti Devi had been ailing for some time and had been admitted in the Bokaro District Hospital. When the CPIML was underground, Comrade Shanti had opened her home to the party to serve as a centre for revolutionary activities and a shelter for Comrade Vinod Mishra and other party leaders.

Deepest condolences to the family members and friends of Comrade Shanti.
