Don Munna Bajrangi, a dreaded gangster was shot dead inside the jail at Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat on Monday. Bajrangi was to be produced in court this morning.
Sources say an inmate fired at Bajrangi inside the jail at about 6.30 am, killing him instantly. On Sunday he was transferred to Baghpat jail from Jhansi. He was to be produced in court in connection with the murder case of a BJP lawmaker.
Within hours of the gangster’s killing inside the jail, opposition in the state accused the government of poor law and order. “I have ordered a judicial inquiry and suspension of the jailor. Such an incident occurring inside jail premises is a serious matter. Will conduct an in-depth investigation and strict action to be taken against those responsible,” said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. A team of investigators are probing the case.
Bajrangi’s wife, a few days ago, had told the police that there is a conspiracy to kill him. “I want to tell UP Chief Minister Adityanath ji that my husband’s life is in danger. A conspiracy is being hatched to kill him in a fake encounter,” Seema Singh, the gangster’s wife had said on June 29.
Munna Bajrangi alias Prem Prakash was arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police in October 2009, for the murder of BJP lawmaker Krishnanand Rai.
