Cops harassing my brother: Ex-dacoit Seema Parihar

LUCKNOW: In a video that has gone viral on social media, reformed dacoit Seema Parihar has accused UP police of harassing her brother Ramvir.
In the one-minute video, Parihar has also alleged that her brother was framed in a false case by police and urged the chief minister of providing justice to her brother and family.
She has further requested the CM to look into the arrest of her brother, who is being targeted for spurious liquor deaths in Kanpur Dehat last year.
“Me and my family are no longer involved in any criminal activity but police are still harassing us,” said Parihar.
SP Auraiya Triveni Singh told TOI that Ramvir was accused of death of at least 16 persons who had died after allegedly consuming spurious liquor in Kanpur Dehat in May 2018.
“We had a warrant against Ramvir, there was a Rs 50,000 cash reward on him,” added Singh.
Ramvir was arrested in a joint operation by police and STF.
Seema, 39, was kidnapped from Auraiya district by dacoits Lala Ram and Kusma Nain when she was 13. She later married Nirbhay Gujar, a dreaded dacoit who was killed in a police encounter.
During her stint as a dacoit, Seema kidnapped nearly 200 people for ransom. In 2000, she surrendered to state police and stayed in jail for a few years after being charged with eight murders and half a dozen kidnappings.
