Biography

Munna Bajrangi or Prem Prakash Singh (2 June 1967 – 9 July 2018) was an Indian politician, a known contract killer and a gang leader from Eastern Uttar Pradesh. In the two decades he was active, he is associated with more than 40 incidents such as murder, attempted murder, and extortion. In 2009, he was jailed for the murder of MLA Krishnanand Rai in 2005 and another BJP leader Ramchandra Singh. For many years, he supported the Samajwadi Party headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav, but the gang switched to Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party in the mid-2000s. He fought elections while imprisoned in Tihar jail under Apna Dal and Peace Party of India in 2012 as trial proceedings were going on. He was shot dead at the District Jail in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, on 9 July 2018. He was shot ten times in the head within the jail premises by another prisoner, gangster Sunil Rathi. His death came a week after his wife, Seema Singh, said in a press conference that he would be targeted.
