The courts have granted them bail.
Yet they remain in jail.

In India, freedom doesn’t always follow the law.

Across Delhi’s prisons, many undertrial prisoners remain incarcerated even after courts grant them bail. They are not inside because they have been found guilty — they are inside because they cannot afford the money required to be released.

Bail is rarely just an order. It comes with costs: bail bonds, guarantor requirements, legal documentation, and administrative fees. For families living in severe financial hardship, arranging this money is simply not possible.

As a result, people lose months — sometimes years — of their lives behind bars, because poverty decides who walks out and who doesn’t.


– Why Project Rihaai exists
Project Rihaai was created to address this exact gap.

Through this campaign, we are raising ₹10,00,000 to help 20 marginalized undertrial prisoners in Delhi who already have bail orders actually walk free.

The funds raised will be used to:

• Pay bail bond and surety-related costs (as required per case)
• Cover essential legal expenses needed to execute release
• Support coordination and documentation required for timely release

This is not charity. This is about restoring access to rights already granted by law.

– Why donate now
A bail order does not automatically lead to release.
Every extra day spent in jail after bail is granted:

• Deepens mental and emotional harm
• Increases health and safety risks
• Pushes families further into financial distress

Freedom delayed is freedom denied. Every extra night spent in jail after bail is granted is poverty overriding liberty.

Donate today — help release someone who is legally free but still imprisoned because they cannot afford it.

– How your contribution helps
Even a small contribution can:

• Help complete bail formalities
• Enable immediate release from jail
• Reunite families who have been waiting far too long
• Give someone a genuine chance to rebuild their life

All donations will be used responsibly and transparently, with regular updates shared on fund utilization and progress.

– Final appeal
20 people already have bail.
They don’t have the money.
If you help one family reunite today, let it be a family waiting to be freed — not by the system, but by money.

Please consider donating or sharing this campaign.

Together, we can restore freedom, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
