Later, HRD Minister Smriti Irani announced that IIT admission fees of the boys would be waived even as UP CM Akhilesh Yadav came out in their support.

Their father was reportedly running from pillar to post to arrange Rs 1 lakh, the admission fees which has to be submitted by June 25.

Gandhi has directed local party leaders to extend all necessary help to them, said sources.
