Nirmal Kumar Singh (face covered) in Dhanbad
A person considered dead 18 years ago was sent to 14 days’ judicial custody after he was arrested today.
The chief judicial magistrate of Dhanbad, Deepak Kumar, sent the accused, Nirmal Kumar Singh, to judicial remand after he was produced before the court. The DSP (law and order), Varun Kumar Mishra, said the culprit was yet to confess that he was living in Varanasi in the guise of Narendra Pratap Singh after duping an insurance company.
The police were looking for Nirmal after one Uday Shankar Singh of Dhanbad lodged an FIR at the Bank More police station in June 2006 alleging that Nirmal was alive and living in Varanasi as Narendra Pratap Singh. Uday Shankar also claimed in the FIR that the family members of Nirmal had fraudulently withdrawn Rs 1.5 lakh from an insurance company.
According to sources, the family members of Nirmal claimed he had died in a boat capsize on August 6, 1988, and his body was missing. The news of his “death” was published in local dailies and was justified by a fake death certificate, the copy of which was attached with the FIR lodged by Uday Shankar.
Subsequently, relatives of Singh deceitfully made insurance claim and forged names on the voters’ list.
The DSP (law and order), investigating into the case, confirmed that the claims of the FIR were prima facie true and that Narendra Pratap Singh was actually Nirmal. However, more evidence has to be collected, said the DSP.
The DSP also said Nirmal Kumar was staying in Varanasi with his wife and children and running a transport business there. Since his roots are in Dhanbad, he kept on visiting the coal city.
The FIR of Uday Shankar also revealed that Nirmal was convicted by the Dhanbad sessions court in 1986 for murdering one Buddhadeb Chatterjee in June 1979. But Nirmal appealed in the Patna high court, and thereafter in the apex court, but his appeal was cancelled in 1994.
Unwilling to surrender before the court, Nirmal hatched the conspiracy, said the sources.
