Former UP minister Amarmani Tripathi and his wife Madhumani, who were sentenced to life for the murder of poet Madhumita Shukla, were released from prison on Friday, said officials.
Granted remission
The prisons department on Thursday issued an order for the premature release of Amarmani Tripathi, citing the state’s 2018 policy on remission, since they have completed 16 years of imprisonment. The department also cited their old age and good behaviour, the official said citing the order. Amarmani, 66, and Madhumani, 61, are currently admitted in Gorakhpur hospital for health reasons.
