Police clamps down on Sobhraj's free style 'love' in jail
Shirish B. Pradhan
Kathmandu, July 5 (PTI) Authorities in Kathmandu's
Central Jail in Nepal have clamped down on Charles Sobhraj's
free style frolicking with his 20-year-old new love, whom the
celebrity criminal plans to wed after his release.
Sixty-four-year-old Sobhraj has been 'engaged' with
Neha alias Nihita Bishwas and plans to marry her when he is
released from the Nepal prison, where he is languishing since
September 2003.
Nicknamed the 'Bikini killer' and 'Serpent', Sobhraj
has been accused of luring young women and killing many of
them. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a District
Court in July 2004 on charges of murdering an American and a
Canadian tourist in Kathmandu in 1975.
Meanwhile, the jail administration has "restricted"
the open display of love between Sobhraj and his young lover,
often in front of prisoners and jail staff. The administration
has now forced the "Bikini killer" and his lover to go indoor.
"He can meet people, but there must be some norms that
has to be followed," a jail staff said.
A Nepali language daily, 'Naya Patrika', said Nihita
even complained to the Director General of the Jail Management
that she had been barred from spending private moments with
her lover.
"We have restricted such acts inside the jail but we
have allowed Nikita to bring food for him," he was quoted as
saying by the Nepali daily.
Nihita, with a Nepali mother and a Bengali father
based in Kathmandu, frequently comes to meet Sobhraj, jail
officials said.
"The girl every day brings food for him and they share
the food together," one of the staff said.
Apart from boosting his private affairs, Sobhraj is
working on a book linked to his four years in prison. Sobhraj
said he has completed writing a book, probably his
autobiography.
The confident young girl, who met Sobhraj while he was
looking for an interpreter, continued her meetings with him
till they fell in love. That's how the courtship started.
"I met her just two months ago and now we are in love,
and I hope we will marry after I get released," Sobhraj told
PTI from Kathmandu's Central Jail.
"I believe that I will be released soon," he stressed.
The celebrity criminal was arrested from a Kathmandu
casino in September 2003 and has been sentenced to life
imprisonment by a District Court in July 2004 on charges of
murdering an American and a Canadian tourist in Kathmandu in
1975.
However, Sobhraj claims that he was put in jail
without any evidence and believes that he will be released
soon with the Supreme Court set for a final hearing on his
appeal next week. PTI
