DM G Krishnaiah’s wife Uma Devi called the decision wrong
Regarding the release of Anand Mohan, Uma Devi, wife of the then DM of Gopalganj G Krishnaiah, said that I demand Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Modi) and the President to intervene in this matter. This decision taken by the Bihar government is absolutely wrong. Uma Devi said that the public will oppose the release of Anand Mohan, demand to send him back to jail and said that if Anand Mohan contests elections in future, people should boycott such persons. I urge the Government of Bihar to send Anand Mohan back to jail.
