The younger sister of Anuj Pratap Singh, who was killed by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force on Monday in connection with a jewellery robbery in Sultanpur last month, has dared the Yogi Adityanath government to kill all the 15 accused in
the case.

Police had booked 15 persons, including Anuj, for looting jewellery worth ₹1.50 crore from Bharat Jewellers in Sultanpur on August 28.

The police killed the second accused at a time the Opposition was questioning the first encounter on September 5 when the STF gunned down another accused, Mangesh Yadav.

“Bipin Singh (main accused) and Vinay Shukla had come to our house several times in the past and lured my brother to join their gang. Bipin and Vinay were closely connected to some criminals in Surat. They had implicated my brother in a loot case in Surat when he refused to be their gang member,” the minor girl claimed on Tuesday.

“We don’t know whether he was involved in the Sultanpur loot case. According to our understanding, the police booked him in the case just because his name was mentioned in the Surat case. We didn’t say all this till date but I have to speak out now,” she added.

The young girl dared the STF to kill all those involved in the jewellery heist. “Whatever they (law-enforcers) did was a crime. They behaved as if they were judges,” she told reporters at Janapur village in Amethi district.

“Our mother passed away during the pandemic. My father and a younger brother are there with us. Anuj was our elder brother and we had thought that he would support us after completing his graduation. But the police killed him,” she added.
