Extortionist should find place only in jails

Court rejects bail plea of man who threatens to shoot Modi

Patna, (Bihar Times): The court of in-charge Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna, Shailendra Kumar on Wednesday rejected the bail plea of Amit Kumar Singh, a doctor of indigenous medicine, who had allegedly threatened to shoot deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi if he did not pay Rs 55 lakh to him.

The charges against the petitioner by the police after investigation of the case was that he had sent a SMS from Samastipur on Modi’s cell phone demanding the amount. The police had lodged an FIR on the basis of a complaint lodged with it by the deputy chief minister’s private secretary Ajay Kumar Agarwal who had received the SMS on mobile on May 15.


At last, it seems, the judiciary is doing what it should have been doing.
Let us hope it has not taken this action because the affected person happens to be the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar.
This rule should be made applicable for all extortionist for they are the younger brothers of murderers and soon graduate to become murderers.
If murders are to be reduced, extortionists should be locked up as soon as they issue the threats and should not be released on bail as long as their trial is not completed.
Let them rot in jail
