Plea Filed In Court Against Release Of Bihar Ex MP Anand Mohan

Anand Mohan, who had been an MP prior to his conviction in 2007, was released from Saharsa jail on Thursday morning.

A petition has been filed in the Patna High Court, challenging the amendment to Bihar's prison rules that facilitated the release of Anand Mohan, a gangster-turned-politician, after serving life sentence for killing an IAS officer three decades ago.

Mr Mohan, who had been an MP prior to his conviction in 2007, was released from Saharsa jail on Thursday morning.

The petitioner, Anupam Kumar Suman, shared the information on his Twitter handle, along with screenshots of e-filing of the Public Interest Litigation on Wednesday.

"I yesterday filed a PIL in the high court challenging the dangerous (khatarnaak) amendment that allowed for remission of sentence awarded to a convict in murder of a government servant in Bihar," Mr Suman wrote in Hindi.
