In a startling revelation, a video featuring a murder accused, identified as Asif, hosting a live session on social media while being incarcerated in Bareilly Central Jail has surfaced. This incident has prompted the police to initiate a thorough investigation into the matter, as reported on Thursday (March 14).
The accused, Asif, was allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of a public works department (PWD) contractor named Rakesh Yadav on December 2, 2019, in broad daylight within the Sadar Bazar Police Station area of Shahjahanpur. Alongside Asif, another individual named Rahul Chaudhary was also implicated in the murder of Yadav, and both are currently detained in Bareilly Central Jail.
Deputy Inspector General (Prison) Kuntal Kishore confirmed the authenticity of the viral video that portrays Asif making alarming statements. In the nearly two-minute-long footage, Asif can be heard exclaiming, “I am in heaven and enjoying it. I’m coming soon, there is no need to worry.”
Following the circulation of the video on social media, the deceased’s brother took immediate action by meeting District Magistrate Umesh Pratap Singh on Thursday and submitting a formal complaint letter. The complainant expressed concerns over the alleged preferential treatment being accorded to the murder accused within the prison premises, claiming that the duo had been hired from Meerut to carry out the heinous crime.
DIG Kishore acknowledged the existence of the video and assured that a comprehensive investigation is underway. He emphasized that once the investigation is concluded, appropriate legal actions will be taken against any individual found guilty of misconduct in this case.
The location of this disturbing incident, Shahjahanpur, has been gripped with shock and outrage over the blatant flaunting of rules and regulations within the confines of the central jail. The local authorities are under immense pressure to ensure that justice prevails and that such flagrant violations of the law are swiftly dealt with.
As the investigation unfolds, the community eagerly awaits the outcome, hopeful that the perpetrators will face the full force of the law for their audacious actions. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
