Patna: Rituraj Singh, a gangster charged with killing Rupesh Kumar Singh, a senior IndiGo Airlines official in Bihar, has been found not only to be a graduate but also a voracious reader of English novels and literature.
A police team which raided Rituraj’s home in Patna over the weekend found a large number of books including ‘The Diary Of a Young Girl’ by Anne Frank, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen, ‘The Sins of the Father’ by Jeffrey Archer, ‘Utopia’ by Thomas More and William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Macbeth’.
Apart from these, several other books such as ‘Wings of Fire’ written by APJ Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari and ‘The Secret of Nagas’ by Amish Tripathi were also found in his room. His family could not understand why the educated youth suddenly got involved in the world of crime. There is a notion of thought in India that highly educated and sophisticated people are considered less likely to become embroiled in matters such as murder cases, but Rituraj appears to have bucked that tred.
