NK SINGH This is a study in contrast, of two murderers who were hanged in the Rajipur Central Jail, Madhya Pradesh, recently. Both of them had been convicted of killing their spouses. 38-year-old Pyarelal, sent to gallows on May 1, was every inch a hardened criminal and remained unrepentant till his last breath. While undergoing trial for killing his wife in 1964, he murdered two fellow prisoners inside the jail following an alteration of a personal nature. Both were fast asleep when their heads were crushed by a heavy boulder and an iron bar. Ultimately, Pyarelal was sentenced to death for the triple murder. 28-year-old Budhram was hanged on June 18 for murdering his wife Man Kunwar, 25, and uncle, Bagarsai, 27, when he found them in a compromising position.

Matriculation exam topper arrested for Naxal activity in Bihar

Naxalites have reached Patna with their Mao-cult slogans on walls and a few hand bombs in halls.

All the walls of the town are full of Naxalite slogans.

Some weeks ago, they hurled bombs to disrupt a ‘save democracy convention’ called by right wing political parties. It was the first Naxalite action in Patna.

After five days the police arrested seven students. They were pasting posters on walls to celebrate May Day. The president of Patna unit of Vidyarthi Parishad, Tiwari, was thrashed when, along with some of his friends, he tried to stop them.

One  of the arrested students had secured highest marks in the Secondary Examination held last year, i.e. he is the topper of Bihar.

Naxalites also hurled crackers on the Gandhi Darshan train, which had not received such treatment anywhere else.

Soon enough they bombed the house of the Principal of Patna Commerce College, who had helped in their arrest.
