Ex-Bihar MP, serving life term for murder of IAS officer, to be freed from jail with 26 others

Patna, Apr 25 (PTI) Former Bihar MP Anand Mohan, who is serving a life sentence in a three-decade-old case of an IAS officer’s murder, is all set to walk out of jail along with 26 others.

The state law department, in a notification issued late on Monday, ordered the release of 27 people, including Mohan, all of whom have spent 14 years or more in jail.

The trial court awarded Mohan capital punishment for the murder of G Krishnaiah, the then District Magistrate of Gopalganj. A higher court, however, commuted it to life imprisonment.
