ALLAHABAD/LUCKNOW: Nine years after his reign of terror ended in a police encounter, slain dacoit Shiv Kumar Patel alias Dadua has come back to haunt the state administration with the unveiling of his idol at a temple in a small hamlet of Fatehpur district on Sunday.The ceremony to unveil the statues of Dadua and his wife Ketki amid chanting of shlokas and mantras on Sunday was part of 10-day festival at the Ram-Janki Laxman and Panchmukhi Hanuman temple, built by the slain bandit in 2005. Former SP MP Bal Kumar, the younger brother of Dadua, who organised the installation ceremony at the temple in Narsinghpur Kabrada village under Dhata police station claimed that the installation work was done with the help of good wishes of thousands of people."They not only attended a series of prorgammes on the temple premises but also supported the move to install the statues," he told TOI.When asked whether he faced any obstacle from the administation, Bal Kumar said: "No one has the right to raise objection as temple is on a private land." He had earlier claimed that senior minister Shivpal Yadav would attend the ceremony, but he didn't turn up. The plaque beneath the statue introduces Dadua as the person "who got this temple constructed and dedicated to the Ram Janki Laxman Panchmukhi Hanuman temple trust".Dadua, who unleashed a reign of terror in the badland of Bundelkhand for more than three decades was gunned down by the special task force of UP police in 2007. While Bal Kumar won Mirzapur Lok Sabha seat in 2009 on the SP's ticket, his son Ram Singh is an SP MLA from Patti (Pratapgarh). Dadua's son Veer Singh, too, represents Chitrakoot (Sadar) assembly constituency on the ruling party's ticket whie his daughter is a block pramukh in the district.While the Uttar Pradesh Police had announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh on Dadua, the Madhya Pradesh police had declared Rs 1 on his head at the time of his encounter. For decades , the police could not even procure a photograph of the bandit, who had as many as 241 cases of heinous crimes including murder, extortion and kidnapping registered against him in UP alone.When asked how the statue of a dacoit could be allowed to be director general of police Javeed Ahmed said a report had been sought from the inspector general, Allahabad Zone, RK Chaturvedi on the entire episode. Chatuvedi, who a couple of days ago had claimed that the bandit's statue won't be allowed to be installed, told TOI that police officials were verifying the event and if anything was found illegal, action would be initiated.Dadua's family members, meanwhile, claimed that a series of events including Ram katha and bhajan sandhya by eminent singers was held from February 4 to 14 at the temple. All the event were being attended by lakhs of people, they claim.
