Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh:
Najju alias Rajju, a former dacoit who walked out of the Bareilly Central Jail a week ago after 23 years, has offered a 101 kg bell at a temple in Shahjahanpur and appealed to the younger generation to stay away from crime.
Now 58, Najju had unleashed a reign of terror for close to 12 years in Shahjahanpur and adjoining areas.
The Ex-Dacoit also shared stage with BJP MLA from Katra assembly constituency Veer Vikram Singh ‘Prince’.
On Monday, Najju along with the MLA offered the bell at the temple in Paraur area of the district.
Referring to the Ex-Dacoit as “our respected uncle”, the legislator, in a video, said Najju had “struggled a lot”… “And, during this, whatever wrong was committed by him, he spent 23 years of punishment. Today, after 23 years, he has been released. I welcome him on this soil and honour him,” Veer Vikram Singh said.
After offering the bell, Najju repented for the crimes committed by him and appealed to the younger generation to stay away from crime and pay attention towards their future and family.
