Firozabad: Father can kill us, don’t release him on parole, Girls tell DM

Since the death of their mother and Parashar’s arrest, the children had been staying with their maternal uncle Suresh Sharma at Vaibhav Nagar in Firozabad.

When contacted, Firozabad District Jail Superintendent Mohammad Akram said Parashar had twice availed month-long paroles since he was lodged in jail.

The last time, he was out on parole was in 2016, he added. “We told the children that we would consider their demands and take necessary steps on their father’s parole request,” said District Magistrate Neha Sharma.

When contacted, Parashar’s father-in-law Ram Kripa said Anurag’s father had named his three grandchildren as his heir.

“Whenever Anurag is out on parole, he took money from those who had taken his father’s land on lease for farming. He had also threatened his children with dire consequences when they asked for money. We have lodged a complaint to the chief minister and senior government officials,” he added.
