Gangster Anandpal Singh finally cremated amid tight security

Jaipur: Finally, the last rites of arrant gangster Anandpal Singh were performed, 20 days after his encounter, at the Nagaur village here on Thursday amid tight security.

According to the fresh reports, the local administration had warned Anandpal's family members that if they will not cremate him, then the police will have to do the same. It has been claimed that Anandpal's son was not ready for the cremation of his father's body.

Rajasthan Jail DG Ajit Singh had been trying to convince the family members of the killed gangster for the same ever since Thursday morning, but they only agreed after receiving a Human Rights Commission notice, which warned them to cremate the body within 24 hours.
