STF plotting to kill my husband, alleges Munna Bajrangi’s wife

LUCKNOW:Living in fear of getting killed in UP police encounter spree, the state’s dreaded gangster Prem Prakash Singh alias Munna Bajrangi is not ready to step out of jail even under police protection.

Bajrangi’s wife Seema Singh on Friday alleged that senior police officials of UP Special Task Force (STF) were hatching conspiracy to murder her husband after bringing him out of the jail premises. She levelled these allegations while talking to media persons here at the UP press club.

According to senior police officials, Bajrangi, who is in jail since his arrest from Mumbai in January 2009, allegedly operates an extortion racket with the help of his aides from behind the bars.

Bajrangi’s wife said her husband was presently lodged in Jhansi jail and his treatment was going on under the supervision of board of doctors from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the doctors have suggested him not to travel following which he is unable to appear for hearing in district courts. She said the STF sleuths however are mounting pressure on him to travel long distances to different districts for court appearances.

She alleged the STF sleuths are making efforts to bring her husband out of the jail and kill him in fake encounter. She said the STF officials conducted her husband’s medical examination by different doctors to declare him fit to travel so that he could be brought out of jail. She said the STF sleuths even tried to murder her husband in judicial custody with the help of their aides lodged inside the jail. “STF inspector Ghanshyam Yadav had visited Jhansi jail to meet one inmate Kamlesh on March 9, 2018 and conspired to kill my husband by poisoning his meal,” she alleged.

Bajrangi’s wife said the same police officials are helping some white-collared people in the murder case of her brother Pushpajeet Singh, who along with his friend Sanjay Mishra was killed in a sensational shootout in Vikas Nagar here on March 5, 2016. A senior STF official, however, said that Munna Bajrangi is using tactics to avoid appearing for court dates. He said Bajrangi is not appearing for court dates despite multiple notices and now making unnecessary allegations of his murder conspiracy.

Meanwhile, three criminal brothers, Salim Rustam and Sohrab, of Lucknow have also raised apprehensions of being killed in police encounter. The three brothers are lodged in Delhi’s Tihar jail for past many years.
