The incident of 22 murders of Rajputs in Behmai was spread all over the news channel. The police were not able to find her even after two years. The time when she was weak she agreed to surrender but under certain conditions that too in front of Madhya Pradesh police. The SP of Bhind District Rajendra Chaturvedi dealt with her process of surrender. She was charged for forty-eight crimes including kidnapping and banditry. Then she lived for 11 years in prison. She was finally released on parole in 1994 after on behalf of Vishambhar Prasad Nishad, the leader of the Nishadha community(another Mallah). The government of Uttar Pradesh drew out all cases against her and later this became a debating topic for everyone. She had a soul connection with the goddess Durga.

Beginning in Indian Politics.

One year after (1995)her release she participated in a conference about liquor declination and women pornography. She stood from Mirzapur constituency of 11th Lok Sabha representing Samajwadi party returning back the favor of UP government for her release. She won and served till 1998, though she lost but stood again in 1999 and gained a victory.

Murder- On July 26 2001 she was shot nine times at her Delhi residence along with her personal security guard Balinder Singh. She was carried to the hospital but was confirmed dead.

Sher Singh Rana and Phoolan- Sher Singh Rana was responsible for her death and he was accused of her assassination. The reports suggested that revenge was the motive. Rana took a payback as to what Phoolan did in the past including caste discrimination and the death of near 22 Rajputs due to which he was locked up in Tihar jail for life imprisonment.

Rana’s breakout from Tihar.

The Phoolan Devi chapter was closed but Rana had something unusual in his mind. The story begins when Prithviraj Chauhan was brutally massacred by the then king Mohammad Ghori. When Prithviraj was captured, he was taken to Ghazni located in Afghanistan. The shrine of Prithviraj was placed just outside the Ghori’s tomb. The people of Afghanistan followed the belief of first insulting the Prithvi’s shrine with shoes and then had to pay tribute to Mohammad Ghori. This was the main reason Rana escaped from Tihar jail in 2004. Rana was a Rajput and had the guts to bring the memorials of Prithviraj from Afghanistan. Over his journey — from Moradabad to Ranchi, Kolkata, Bangladesh and Dubai to Afghanistan, he used to get his daily basis expenses. After two years i.e. in 2006, he was arrested. On October 24, 2016, he was given bail by Delhi High court. Responding over the case, he said, “I have left (my fate) on God, as I have no idea how long it will take the case to settle,” Rana told media individuals. Currently, he is out on bail on Devi’s murder case.
