Azamgarh jailor succumbs to murderous attack

Express News Service

Lucknow, August 23: While the jailer of Azamgarh jail Deep Sagar Singh (42 yrs) breathed his last in a hospital at Varanasi on Monday, the police is still to find two alleged conspirators and accused in the case, Sheru alias Taiyab and Kamlesh.

Earlier, jailer Singh was shot at and injured by a group of criminals near the Azamgarh jail on August 4. Singh was targeted when he refused to grant special privileges to a group of jail inmates inside the Azamgarh jail.

‘‘We have already solved the case with the arrest of two persons Pappu Mian and Dinesh Tewari. Dinesh Tewari is the main conspirator. Both the arrested persons confessed their involvement in the murder. We also seized the countrymade pistol which was used in the crime. I have constituted special teams to ensure the arrest of the two other criminals Sheru and Kamlesh,’’ Azamgarh SP Subhendra Kumar Bhagat told the Indian Express over phone.

Bhagat disclosed Sheru, Dinesh and Kamlesh had met a notorious criminal Ramesh Singh in Gorkahpur jail.

Ramesh was unhappy with the jailer after being transferred from Azamgarh jail to Gorakhpur jail. ‘‘They hatched a conspiracy near the jail gate to eliminate the jailer. They planned the murder in advance and Pappu Mian played an important role in it,’’ he added.

When contacted, the president of UP Jailers’ Association Sanjeev Tripathi said his association has collected cash to the tune of Rs 38,000 for the bereaved family.

‘‘We also met Principal Secretary (jail administration) and requested him to reimburse the cost incurred in the treatment of Singh,’’ he informed.
