Days after the Bihar government tweaked its Prison rules to release the convicted killer of an IAS officer, his wife has now appealed to President Draupadi Murmi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the matter and said she was shocked by Nitish Kumar’s move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uma Krishnaiah, wife of slain IAS officer G Krishnaiah urged the Centre to stop the release of former MP Anand Mohan Singh who killed her husband, and make Nitish Kumar’s government withdraw his decision as it will have serious repercussions for the entire society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said her husband was an IAS officer and it is the Centre’s responsibility to ensure that justice is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The widow of the slain bureaucrat alleged Nitish Kumar’s administration for releasing the killer of her husband for the votes of Rajputs and to form a government again. Uma, who lives in Hyderabad, said she was unhappy when the gangster-turned-politician was awarded life imprisonment instead of the death penalty and now it is more heartbreaking that he is being released even before completing the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
