Senior IAS officer Smita Sabharwal (IAS:2001:TG) has requested the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of India to intervene in the release of convicts, including Ex-MP Anand Mohan Singh, involved in the killing of IAS officer G Krishnaiah (IAS:1985:BH) in Bihar.
“Sometimes one wonders if being a civil servant is worth it. Request the SC and CJI to intervene,” tweeted Smita on Wednesday, expressing her solidarity with Krishnaiah’s family.

She retweeted the statement of the Central IAS Association, which expressed its deep dismay at the Bihar government’s decision to release the convicts involved in the brutal killing of G. Krishnaiah, former District Magistrate of Gopalganj, through a change in classification rules of prisoners.
The association urged the Bihar government to reconsider its decision and said a convict charged with the murder of a public servant on duty cannot be reclassified to a less heinous category. Further, the association said that amendment to an existing classification that results in the release of a convicted killer of a public servant is tantamount to denial of justice.

It also stated that such dilution leads to impunity, erosion in morale of public servants, undermines public order and makes a mockery of the administration of justice. The Association requested the Bihar government to reconsider its decision at the earliest.
Krishnaiah’s family, which lives in Hyderabad, has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and stop release of former MP Anand Mohan Singh, who had instigated the bureaucrat’s lynching.
