Conflict and Controversies

On the instructions of then-Chief Minister Mayawati, Raghuraj Pratap Singh was detained in the early hours of November 2, 2002, on a FIR filed by a dissident Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Puran Singh Bundela of alleged kidnapping and threatening with severe consequences. Later, the Mayawati-led government in Uttar Pradesh declared him a terrorist, and he, along with his father Uday Pratap Singh and cousin Akshay Pratap Singh, were sentenced to prison under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). Following that, Akshay was granted bail, while Raghuraj’s appeals were repeatedly denied.

All POTA allegations against Mulayam Singh Yadav were dismissed within 25 minutes of his government taking power in 2003. The state administration, on the other hand, was forbidden from dropping POTA charges by the Supreme Court.

The POTA Act was eventually abolished in 2004, and, despite the court’s refusal to release Raghuraj, he rose to become a major figure in the administration, and was accused of launching a vendetta against him by police officer R.S. Pandey (who led the raid on his home).

R.S. Pandey was eventually died in a car accident, which the CBI is currently investigating. On March 3, 2013, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Zia Ul Haq was slain in Kunda, Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya’s constituency, after conflicts between locals and police.

Following a complaint from the dead officer’s wife, Parveen Azad, Pratapgarh police filed a case against Raja Bhaiya for his claimed involvement in the ‘plot’ that led to the gang war and the officer’s subsequent murder. The CBI filed its final report in the CBI court on August 1, 2013, giving a clean chit to Raja Bhaiya.
