The ashram sisters, who were discharged from the hospital on Monday, declared that they would continue to fight for justice.

A day after five sisters were evicted from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram-run apartments, on a Supreme Court order, two of the sisters and their mother ended their lives on December 18 in an alleged family suicide bid by drowning in the sea. The father and three other sisters were rescued by fishermen and were admitted to the Government General Hospital.

They were given medical treatment and counselling at Government General Hospital since then and they were discharged from hospital on Monday. The family members were escorted by the police to their respective places where they are going to reside. Ms. Hemalata told The Hindu, I feel very happy to be free again after 18 days. It is a new birth for me and all my family members.

She also thanked the government, doctors, nurses and police personnel for their support and treatment given to them.

Explaining her further plans, Ms. Hemlata said, I want justice. One should remember all these years this ashram trustees have been misrepresenting facts about us. I appeal to the government to suspend trustees and appoint interim administrators as part of justice.
