    • Kripashankar’s family gets relief in ₹crore graft case

    May 22, PM IST

    The special court discharged Singh’s wife Maltidevi, son Narendramohan, daughter Sunita and son-in-law Vijaykumar Singh.

    Four months after the discharge of Congress leader Kripashankar Singh from a disproportionate assets case, the special court for Prevention of Corruption Act, on Tuesday, discharged four of his family members.

    The special court discharged Singh’s wife Maltidevi, son Narendramohan, daughter Sunita and son-in-law Vijaykumar Singh.

    They had applied for discharge two weeks after Singh’s discharge.

    The court had discharged Kripashankar on February 14 as the prosecution had failed to produce sanction to prosecute him from the appropriate authority.

    Soon after, on April 3, advocate KH Giri moved a discharge plea for the family contending that since the main accused was discharged, the family members cannot be prosecuted.

    “The prosecution had not booked the family members under any independent charge other than the allegations that the properties acquired by them were actually purchased from purportedly disproportionate funds accumulated by Kripashankar Singh,” said Giri.

    However, since Kripashankar has been discharged there is no case left against them, he added.

    The Congress leader and four of his family members were charge-sheeted on April 4, for possessing % more assets than their known sources of income.

    The agency had booked his family members mainly for aiding and abetting him.

    According to the charge sheet filed by the agency, Kripashankar’s wife was holding property worth ₹ lakh in her name at the instance of Kripashankar.

    Similarly, Narendramohan was found holding properties worth ₹ crore, Sunita was owner of properties worth ₹ crore; while Vijaykumar was found holding properties worth ₹ lakh.

    A case was filed against him and his family after the Bombay HC directed the police to investigate allegations of criminal misconduct and disproportiona

    &#;I can’t repay the karz of my birthplace but at least now I can give something back&#;: Kripashankar Singh

    I never disconnected from my roots in Jaunpur. It was my majboori that I was here (in Mumbai). The happiness of being in a village is like the old days when we used to go for a one-month holiday and then each day we tried to extend our stay. When the party said you have to contest the election from Jaunpur, I can’t explain my happiness on going back to my roots again. I can’t repay the karz of my birthplace, but at least now I can give something back.

    Your political base has been Mumbai, so won&#;t Jaunpur be more challenging? 

    I never lost personal connect in Jaunpur. In the past, every two months I have visited Jaunpur and I did whatever I could do. However, this election is for Narendra Modi ji and when I went there I got support from everyone across, all castes and communities. I met many people and they all said, they don’t have their MP (Member of Parliament). The local leaders whom I spoke to said whenever they went to Delhi for any work, they were told that they don’t have their MP. People are now regretting why they didn’t vote for the BJP candidate last time.

    There is a big caste-based politics in UP and your constituency is dominated by Yadavs, how will that have an impact?

    Wherever I have gone, I haven’t seen caste-based equation in politics. One thing is sure that people want to be with Narendra Modi ji in my constituency. People say that Yadavs will vote for Samajwadi Party, others will vote for BSP, but I know that people will vote for BJP. People will back Modiji for his work done in the last ten years both in the country and in UP.

    BJP is in talks with Raj Thackeray’s MNS, which has had a chequered relationship with North Indian community. How will you convince people back home?

    I haven’t thought about it and I too have been seeing this on news channels. So,
