India Today spoke to Shete's elder brother, who said that she was convicted for killing her sister-in-law in 2004. Shete's sister-in-law succumbed to severe burn injuries in 1996, but she accused Shete and her mother for the same. After the trial, Shete and her mother were lodged in Yerwada jail in Pune. Shete was only 18 then and worked as a school teacher in Navjeevan High School. Her mother passed away due to old age in September 2016.
While Manjula was undergoing her punishment at the Central Yerwada Women's Jail, she was promoted from an inmate to warden, based on her good behavior, and was transferred to Byculla jail two months back.
According to Manjula's brother, their eldest brother had killed his own wife over property. Manjula was to finish her punishment in few months and the family had decided to work around the issues
Her brother said that he was informed by few of jail workers that Manjula had complained against the jailor for giving breakfast to only 200 female inmates. This did not go well with the authorities who brutally assaulted her, leading to her murder.
The case has been registered at Nagpada police station under Section 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Manjula's brother said that according to the preliminary post mortem report she had sustained 11 to 13 contusions on her body and a sharp metal rod like object was inserted in her private parts.
Shete's brother has appealed that the responsible be punished for her murder.
When contacted for confirmation, there was no response from the jail authorities.
