Govt announces release of 40 life convicts

KOLKATA: The Mamata Banerjee government on Tuesday announced the release of 40 convicts who have spent more than 18 years behind the bars at various jails in the state.

"This is a historic decision," chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday. "Those who are being released can get back to the mainstream. We shall review other cases from time to time. Due to government negligence, many have been languishing in prison for 22 years and in some cases even for 45 years," she added.


Two convicts in the list of 40 have served for more than 24 years. Tarak Chowdhury, 54, one of them who is now at Dum Dum central jail, has been a convict for over 27 years.

Among those shortly to be released, there is 65-year-old Ranadhir Basu, who was sentenced in the case of gruesome murder of parents and grandparents of Sudipa Pal. Basu was Sudipa's tutor and she too was involved in the murder. The gruesome murder took place at Ichhapur of North 24-Parganas in March 1991. Sudipa - about 15 years old then - was found tied up in a room and neighbours found her mother Sulekha Pal, father Subhas Chandra Pal, grandmother Latika Pal and grandfather Debendra Mohan Pal murdered. Cyanide was mixed with sweets and mercuric chloride was added to water, and the chemicals were supplied by an accomplice, Krishnendu Jana.

Sudipa was alleged to have taken part in the crime. But since she agreed to turn into an approver and narrated the entire sequence of events, she was pardoned and had been released. Cyanide-laced sweets were served to her parents and grandparents since they disapproved her relationship with Basu. Basu is currently serving at the Lalgola open-air prison in Murshidabad.

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who announced the release of 40 convicts at Writers' Buildings on Tuesday, said that 52 names had been recommended and the state selected 40 from them while the Centre objected in two cases.
