FIR registered against Anant Vikram Singh
The royal battle between Sanjay Singh and his son Anant Vikram Singh, which claimed the life of constable on Sunday, continued in a war of words on Tuesday. While the Congress MP alleged that Garima Singh (his first wife), is using his son Anant Vikram to grab “Rajmahal”, Anant hit back accusing Sanjay and his second wife Amita Singh of creating nuisance and demanded a probe by the CBI into Sunday’s incident.
“The local administration is playing into the hands of Sanjay Singh and Amita Singh. It fabricated fake charges against me and my supporters in the Sunday’s clash and called for a CBI probe into the matter,” claimed Anant Vikram Singh. He was talking to media despite denied permission to do so. Garima Singh also supported her son’s claim and said that only a CBI probe would reveal the truth.
Further charging his father of having criminal nexus, Anant Vikram Singh also demanded CBI to reopen ace badminton player Syed Modi’s murder case in which his father was an accused.
“Though Sanjay Singh was acquitted from Syed Modi’s murder case, the judges disposed off the case only due to absence of adequate evidences. The judge never said that my father was not involved in that killing, so CBI must re-open the probe”, demanded Anant Vikram Singh.
Sanjay Singh’s second wife Amita, was initially wife of Syed Modi.
Meanwhile, denying all charges made against him, Sanjay Singh, alleged that his first wife Garima was using Anant Vikram for grabbing our property. “I will decide who should live in the ‘Rajmahal’ and who should not after taking legal advice. Anant and daughters Shaivya and Mahima lived with me for 19 years. When Anant was with me he was captain in Merchant Navy and now he is going to become accused of murder,” Singh said.
Replying to a question, Singh said, “I am a responsible father and will get the issue resolved. Some people in media are exaggerating the issue.”
He further said, that he was owner of the property and could not be stopped from entering it.
He also expressed regret over the death of a police constable, killed on Sunday in a clash between the alleged supporters of his son Anant Vikram Singh and the police.
“It was very tragic that a constable lost his life,” the former Union Minister and Rajya Sabha MP told reporters in Amethi. Singh along with his second wife Amita Singh were addressing media persons at the Bhupati Bhawan palace at Ramnagar after the controversy related to his family erupted.
He said both Anant Vikram Singh and Garima Singh(his first wife) misled the innocent people of Ramnagar.
On being asked why Sanjay was given permission to hold a Press conference and Anant was denied for the same, said, the District Magistrate said, “As Sanjay is the owner of the ‘Rajmahal’ he will decide whom to talk to. As far as Anant is concerned, he was denied permission as it could create violence in the area”.
Meanwhile a case has been registered against 257 people, including Anant Vikram Singh, in connection with the killing of a constable in a clash. “An FIR has been registered against 257 people including 250 unidentified ones in connection with Sunday’s clash at Amethi police station,” District Magistrate Jagat Raj disclosed to reporters on Monday morning.
Holding Anant Vikram responsible for the clash between his supporters and the police, the DM said he (Vikram) incited people by sending them messages to gather at the spot. The constable, Vijay Mishra, was killed and six persons were injured in the clash between police and Anant Vikram’s supporters in Amethi, who had gathered outside ‘Bhupati Bhawan’, Sanjay Singh’s ancestral house, to prevent his (Sanjay’s) entry inside it.
Anant Vikram occupies the residence with his mother and Sanjay Singh’s first wife, Garima. Sanjay Singh and his second wife Amita are locked in a dispute over the ancestral house with Anant Vikram and Garima.
