Noida (Uttar Pradesh): A day after the main accused in the Bulandshahr violence case got bail, wife of Inspector Subodh Kumar, who was killed in the violence, appealed to the government to kill her if the criminals cannot be imprisoned.
"I am very upset that the main accused is out on bail. Bail was not possible in the case. I am very upset with the judicial system. What is happening is very wrong. I want to appeal to the government that if you cannot punish the criminals, then get me also killed. Then there will be nobody to question the government and the government would not need to give explanations to anybody," Rajni Singh told reporters.
"This is very bad news for us. They were the prime suspects in the FIR and in the case. He (Yogesh Raj) was responsible for all that had happened. What is the guarantee that he will not do that again after coming out? It has not even been eight months in the jail that he has got the bail," said her son Shrey Pratap Singh.
"The government should apply for bail cancellation and should set an example to the public that our legal system is above these criminals," he further added.
The Allahabad High Court on September 25 granted bail to Yogesh Raj, a local Bajrang Dal leader. Other five accused in the case have already got bail.
Inspector Singh and a local youth were killed in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr on December 3 last year when a mob went on a rampage over allegations of illegal cow slaughter.
Sedition charges were slapped on 44 people who were accused of instigating the violence in Chingravathi area of Bulandshahr.
As many as 44 people were sent to jail, out of which six got bail eight months after the violence.
