Bihar judge who awarded capital punishment to five Maoists gets ‘death penalty’
The rebels took this decision after holding a ‘Jun Adalat’ (people’s court) on Friday, a local media reported on Saturday quoting a spokesperson of Bihar-Jharkhand Zonal Committee Laljit Koda.
Maoists were awarded death sentence by judge Jyoti Swarup Srivastava for killing two CRPF jawans during the last 2014 Lok Sabha polls. The death sentence was handed out by the Munger district court in Bihar on Thursday.
In view of this threat, the security of the judge has been beefed up, reports added.
The rebels have also given a call for two-day bandh (shutdown) on May 28 and 29 in eastern Bihar to protest the death sentence given to their colleagues.
As per reports, a police team had gone on patrolling in the Jamui LS constituency during the 2014 polls when their vehicle was attacked by rebels.
Subsequently, two jawans died in the incident while seven others sustained injuries.
