Wife of slain IAS officer appeals to PM Modi after ex-Bihar MP comes out of jail

Telangana: The wife of District Magistrate G. Krishnaiah, who was murdered by the gangster-turned-politician Annand Mohan Singh, appealed to President Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday to step in and ask Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to send him back to jail. She objected to his release from Bihar’s Sharsa jail.
Anand Mohan Singh, a gangster-turned-politician, was released from Bihar’s Saharsa jail early on Thursday morning after the state government of Bihar amended the prison rules to permit the release of 27 prisoners, including him.
She criticised the Bihar government’s decision to free the murderer who had been sentenced to death by the trial court but had later had his sentence reduced to life in prison by the Patna High Court as being “wrong” and added that the Chief Minister shouldn’t “encourage these types of things.”

“The public will protest against Anand Mohan’s release and demand that he be taken back into custody. Choosing to release him was a mistake. These kinds of actions shouldn’t be encouraged by CM. The public should abstain from voting for him in future elections. I appeal to you to put him back behind bars,” she pleaded.
The deceased IAS officer’s daughter, Padma, demanded Nitish Kumar rethink his choice and requested the state government to reconsider its decision. The deceased IAS officer’s daughter, Padma, demanded Nitish Kumar to rethink his choice and requested the state government to reconsider its decision.
According to Padma, the family will file an appeal in opposition to the government’s decision. It is unjust to the entire country as well as one family. We will appeal this ruling, she declared.
He was incarcerated for life for killing former Gopalganj District Magistrate G Krishnaiah in 1994. An official announcement indicated that 27 criminals who had served 14 or 20 years in prison had been ordered to be released after the Bihar Government changed the provisions of the jail manual.
Anand Mohan Singh’s release from the Bihar prison of Saharsa was warmly celebrated by his supporters. He had previously been granted a 15-day parole to attend his MLA son Chetan Anand’s engagement party. After his parole time expired on April 26, he went back to Saharsa prison.
On December 5, 1994, in Muzaffarpur, Anand Mohan assassinated Gopalganj District Magistrate G Krishnaiah. A crowd believed to have been incited by Anand Mohan Singh assassinated Krishnaiah. He was pulled from his company car and lynched.
G Krishnaiah was an IAS officer from the 1985 batch who was born in Mahbubnagar in modern-day Telangana.
In 2007, a trial court handed down a death sentence to Anand Mohan. The Patna High Court commuted the punishment to life in jail a year later. Mohan subsequently appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, where he has stayed since 2007 without receiving any remedy.
On Wednesday morning, the state prison administration freed approximately 14 prisoners from the state’s various facilities.
