Mail News Service

Jamshedpur/Adityapur, July 3: The three day time period given to the police by various social and political organizations for nabbing the killers of contractor Kanhaiya Singh lapsed today as the police administration remained clueless. On Sunday afternoon, hundreds of Jharkhand Kshatriya Sangh members reached the Adityapur police station in the form of a protest rally raising slogans against the police administration. They were accompanied by several leaders of Congress, JMM including former Ichagarh MLA and Kanhaiya Singh’s brother-in-law Arvind Singh and BJP leader Abhay Singh.

A delegation of the protesters met the Adityapur PS OC and submitted a memorandum demanding the killers be immediately exposed.

The rally then reached the former Ichagarh MLA Arvind Singh’s where he held a media meeting. During the meeting, Arvind Singh said that the police must expose the killers of Kanhaiya Singh without further delay failing which the members of the Kshatriya Sangh and supporters will find the killers even if they had to reach underground.

 The former MLA announced a reward of Rs One lakh to anyone who provided information on the killers’ whereabouts. He said that the name of the informant would be kept a secret. The former MLA was highly critical over the recent spurt in gang wars and murders in Adityapur. He said killing social workers like Kanhaiya Singh was a big poser before the society.

 He thanked those who supported him in protesting against the murder of Kanhaiya Singh and said that there was a need to take the campaign against the crime forward. “Not only in the case of Kanhaiya Singh’s murder, but the same solidarity will have to be shown if anyone is killed and only then will social harmony prevail and there will be pressure on the police administration to resolve the cases at the earliest.”

However, the former MLA Arvind Singh alias Malkhan Singh reiterated that a conspiracy was being hatched to weaken him. The murder of Kanhaiya Singh was a link in that chain. He said that a conspiracy was being hatched against him from Adityapur, Jamshedpur to Ichagarh.

He said that he was capable in dealing with the criminals. He stressed that the police administration should take immediate action, otherwise they would be forced to take action at their own level. At the same time, Arvind Singh expressed faith in the law and urged the police to investigate impartially.
