"Encouraging Criminals": Murdered IAS Officer's Widow On Ex Bihar MP's Release | Read

The death sentence for gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan Singh, accused in the murder of a Dalit bureaucrat in Bihar, was "good", as people wouldn't fear criminals if he was hanged, the murdered IAS officer's widow said, expressing disappointment at the Bihar government tweaking prison rules facilitating the Rajput strongman's release after 15 years of jail. The decision is sending "wrong signals" in the society, she said, and requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and ask Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to take the decision back.
