Amanmani Tripathi to remain out on bail in wife's murder case
New Delhi, April 18: Uttar Pradesh MLA Amanmani Tripathi, accused of killing his wife Sara Singh, will remain out on bail as the Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed pleas by the CBI and victim's mother against an Allahabad High Court order granting him relief.
A bench headed by Justice A.K. Sikri rejected the plea filed by the probe agency and Seema Singh, the mother of Sara Singh, against the release of the 35-year-old sitting MLA from Nautanwa.
On March 9, 2017, the Allahabad High Court had granted bail to Tripathi.
Seema Singh had claimed that Tripathi has been threatening her after being released on bail.
On May 2, 2017, two unidentified persons stopped her and threatened her with dire consequences if she continued to fight the case, Singh said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 18, 2017 had charge-sheeted Tripathi for the murder of his wife.
Sara was killed in July 2015 in what was initially believed to be a road accident. Her parents, however, alleged that she was murdered by her husband of two years.
The matter was then handed over to the CBI, which arrested him and was sent to jail on November 25, 2016.
Tripathi, was expelled from the Samajwadi Party on February 23, 2016 for anti-party activities and later contested from Nautanwa Assembly segment as an Independent candidate.
His father Amarmani Tripathi, a politician and his mother Madhumani were also convicted by a CBI court in 2007, for the murder of poet Madhumati Shukla and were awarded life sentences.

Main accused in Delhi Police constable murder shot dead in Sangam Vihar
New Delhi (PTI): A day after the fatal stabbing of a Delhi Police constable, the main accused in the case was shot dead in an encounter with the personnel of the force in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar area, officials said on Sunday.
Constable Kiran Pal was stabbed to death by three people on Saturday while on night patrolling duty in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area. Two accused -- Deepak Max and Krish Gupta -- were arrested later in that day.
The third accused, Raghav -- who stabbed Pal with a knife -- was hiding in Sangam Vihar, a senior police officer of Special Cell said.
Acting on specific information, teams of NDR of Special Cell and Narcotics Cell of South East District, went to the area connecting Sangam Vihar and Surajkund Road late on Saturday night, the officer said.
The accused was identified and asked to surrender. He, however, opened fire at the police personnel who retaliated in self-defence and injured the accused.
"He was immediately taken to the ESIC Hospital, Okhla, where he died," the officer said.
A pistol with two cartridges have been seized, the police officer said, adding no police official was injured in the encounter.
Constable Kiran Pal, posted at Govindpuri Police Station, was on night patrolling duty when he stopped three people riding a scooty in the early hours of Saturday.
The accused threw stones at the constable to evade arrest but he managed to waylay them by putting his bike in front of their vehicle, the officer said.
The constable also took away the keys of the scooty and started questioning the trio during which the accused stabbed him, the officer added.
