Brijesh Singh, a notorious mafia and don and a resident of Uttarpradesh had finally landed up in the net of Delhi Police. He was carrying a reward of Rs.5 Lakhs on his head and is alleged to have been running an exhortion racket across several states and followed by the Delhi Police for several days before being nabbed in front of a mall in Bhubaneswar on 24th Jan 008. There was a curious turn to the incident when he was intercepted by the Orissa Poiice at the Delhi Airport on the mistaken notion that he was kidnapped.
Mr.Brijesh Singh according to the Police was registered as an ‘A Class history sheeter’ in the U.P. Police records. Mr.Singh had admitted to the Police in a non-perplexing manner that he had committed atleast 10 to 12 murders and raked an annual exhortion amount between 10 and 12 Crores. But, according to the Police, this is an underestimation and the amount could be much higher.
He is reported to be enjoying tremendous political clout. Unconfirmed sources say that his elder brother, Udainath (a) Chulbul Singh is a BJP MLC and his nephew Sushil Kumar is the BSP MLA from Dhanapur in U.P.
He is facing atleast 23 cases involving murder, abduction, exhortion and kidnapping for ransom. The U.P. Police which had not seen him for the last twentyyears stated that they would seek a nacro-test analysis on him to find out truths.
The arrest of this don provides yet another nexus between crime and politics or else how would one explain the admitting of Police that they had not seen him for the last twety-years?
