A dreaded gangster Munna Bajrangi was shot dead inside the Baghpat jail in Uttar Pradesh on Monday. Bajrangi was to be produced in Court this morning.
A rival gang member Sunil Rathiat who is an inmate at the prison fired at Bajrangi and killed him. The incident occurred at around 6:30 A.M., before Bajrangi was to be taken to Court. On Sunday, Bajrangi was transferred to the Baghpat jail from Jhansi. The Court hearing was to discuss Bajrangi’s involvement in the murder of a BJP lawmaker.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “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.”
Bajrangi’s wife Seema Singh warned the UP police there was a conspiracy to kill her husband. She warned the CM on the 29th of June and said, “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.”
In October 2009, The Special Cell of the Delhi Police arrested Bajrangi in connection to the murder of BJP lawmaker Krishnanand Rai.
