Tears rolled down the face of Rohit Shekhar's mother after the Delhi High Court declared veteran Congress leader ND Tiwari to be the biological father of Shekhar on Tuesday. The six-year legal battle ended when Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also injuncted Tiwari from denying in public that Shekhar is not his natural born son.
This week, after years of denying it, octogenarian politician N D Tiwari publicly accepted that Rohit Shekhar is indeed his son. For Shekhar, the change of heart must also come with a legal guarantee.
