'Send Them To Andaman': Probe Agency's Request For Dreaded Gangsters
NDTV
Since Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a Centre-administered region, no permission would be required as needed in other states.
The National Investigation Agency today wrote to the Home Ministry regarding shifting dreaded gangsters from North Indian prisons to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, sources said. The letter mentioned shifting 10-12 notorious criminals from Delhi's Tihar Jail, which made headlines recently for the gruesome murder of a criminal inside its premises. The probe agency said gangs are being run from inside North Indian prisons.
Since Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a Centre-administered region, no permission would be required as needed in other states.
This is NIA's second letter to the Home Ministry regarding the issue.
The probe agency wrote to the ministry a few months back requesting that 25 notorious criminals, including Lawrence Bishnoi, accused in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, be shifted to South Indian prisons.
