New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

The top body of the country’s bureaucrats has issued a vociferous protest against the change in rules in Bihar to facilitate the release of gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan Singh, who was serving a life term for the murder of a Dalit IAS officer. “Such dilution leads to impunity, erosion of morale of public servants, undermines public order and makes a mockery of administration of justice,” the Central IAS Association said in a statement shared on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“The Central IAS Association expresses its deep dismay at the decision of the State Government of Bihar to release the convicts of the brutal killing of Late Shri G Krishnaiah, IAS, former District Magistrate of Gopalganj, by a change in classification rules of prisoners,” the tweet read.<\/p>\n

Anand Mohan Singh, a Rajput, is among the 27 convicts to be released ahead of next year’s general election, with the state’s ruling coalition and the opposition BJP eyeing the support of the community.<\/p>\n

The BJP’s Central minister, Giriraj Singh, has supported the state government’s move, saying “poor Anand Mohan” became a “scapegoat” in the case and has “remained in jail for a long time”.<\/p>\n

In 1994, then Gopalganj District Magistrate, G Krishnaiah was killed by a mob allegedly provoked by Anand Mohan Singh.<\/p>\n

The strongman, whose son is an MLA from Lalu Yadav’s RJD, was sentenced to death by a lower court in 2007. But the Patna High Court later commuted the sentence to life imprisonment, a decision that was backed by the Supreme Court. He has been in jail for 15 years.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar tweaked the prison rules, allowing remission of jail term of those convicted for murdering a public servant on duty. Yesterday, the state government notified the release of 27 prisoners under the new rule.<\/p>\n

The matter has triggered a huge political controversy. Leaders like the BJP’s Sushil Modi slammed the move. Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party said the change was “anti-Dalit” and requested the Nitish Kumar government to reconsider the decision.<\/p>\n

Mr Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) hit back at the BJP, and accused Mayawati of being its “B-team in UP”.<\/p>\n

Anand Mohan Singh, who is out on 15-day parole for his son’s wedding, also took a dig at the BJP. “In Gujarat, some convicts of Bilkis Bano case have been released. That too happened due to the pressure of Nitish-RJD?” he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
