Central IAS Association Expresses Dismay At Bihar Government’s Decision To Release Convicts Who Killed G Krishnaiah

New Delhi, April 25 (TNA) The Central Indian Administrative Service (IAS) Association on Tuesday expressed “its deep dismay at the decision of the State Government of Bihar to release the convicts of the brutal killing of Late G Krishnaiah, IAS, former District Magistrate of Gopalganj, by a change in classification rules of prisoners”.

In a statement, the body said “a convict of a charge of murder of a public servant on duty, cannot be re-classified to a less heinous category.” It further added that “amendment of an existing classification which leads to the release of the convicted killer of a public servant on duty is tantamount to denial of justice” and that “such dilution leads to impunity, erosion in morale of public servants, undermines public order & makes a mockery of administration of justice.” The IAS association has also requested the Bihar government to reconsider its decision at the earliest.
