A Delhi court granted custody parole of 6 hours to gangster Sandeep aka Kala Jatheri, a member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, to get married.
According to reports, Delhi's Dwarka Court granted him custody parole on March 12 for the ceremony in the national capital, and again on March 13 for the ‘Grih Pravesh’ which will be held in Sonipat, Haryana.
Gangster Kala Jatheri reportedly fell for 'Lady Don' Anuradha aka Madam Minj because of her fluent English and way of using the gun.
Anuradha, who was also lodged in jail, has reportedly left the life of crime after she was released. She now lives with Kala Jatheri's parents and is studying law to help him with his legal battles.
Kala Jatheri requested custody parole on humanitarian grounds to attend his wedding ceremony, which has been arranged by his family members.
Applications filed by advocate Rohit Dalal argued that the right to marriage has been recognised as a constitutional right under Article 21. It was stated that both the applicant or accused and his fiancee are of legal age as stipulated by the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. It was further submitted that the denial of marriage to the applicant/accused would cause prejudice and violate Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
Jatheri carried a reward of ₹7 lakh when arrested in 2021. The Delhi Police's special cell nabbed him in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, approximately 200 kilometres away from the national capital.
According to the police, Sandeep was wanted in numerous cases of extortion, murder, and other serious offences across Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana.
