Anand Mohan was recently freed after being behind the bars for 15 years for the 1994 murder of the then district magistrate of Gopalganj.
A body representing Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officers in Madhya Pradesh on Friday expressed deep concern and anguish over the release of gangster-turned-politician Anand Mohan, who was serving a life sentence for killing an IAS officer in Bihar three decades ago.
Anand Mohan, a former MP, was released from Saharsa jail on Thursday after being behind the bars for 15 years for the murder of G Krishnaiah, the then district magistrate of Gopalganj, who was beaten to death by a mob in Muzaffarpur district in 1994.
Anand Mohan's name figured in a list of more than 20 prisoners who were ordered to be set free by a notification issued by the Bihar government's law department earlier this week.
His remission of sentence followed an amendment of Bihar Prison Manual, whereby the restriction on early release of those involved in killing of a public servant on duty was done away with.
