She became MP in the by-elections after her husband and sitting MP Sunil Kumar Mahato was assassinated by suspected Maoist rebels near Ghatsila in East Singhbhum district on 4 March 2007 while he was attending a local football match organised to mark the Hindu festival of Holi.[1] She served in parliament from 2007 to 2009.[2]
