Former Uttar Pradesh Minister Amarmani Tripathi and his wife Madhumani, serving life terms in poet Madhumita Shukla murder case, are likely to be released from the jail in Lucknow later in the day, Gorakhpur jail superintendent Dilip Pandey said on August 25.
The Prisons Department had on August 24 issued an order for the premature release of Amarmani Tripathi, citing the State's 2018 policy on remission, since they have completed 16 years of imprisonment.
“The Department also cited their old age and good behaviour as Amarmani is 66 and Madhumani is 61,” the official said citing the order.
