While hearing the matter, a bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi issued notices to the UP government, seeking its replies within eight weeks on a plea filed by the victim’s sister.

The prison department informed them that their release was finalized considering their age and good behavior. Amarmani is 66 years old and Madhumani is 61 years old.

Both the prisoners are currently admitted to the BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur.

Who was Madhumita Shukla?

On 9 May 2003, poet Madhumita was shot dead in Lucknow’s Paper Mill Colony. In September 2003, Amanmani was arrested for his links to the poet’s murder. It was said that he had an affair with her.
