In what is clearly a massive failure of law, Sajjad Ahmed Moghul, the former security guard who was serving out a life sentence for the brutal murder of lawyer Pallavi Purkayastha in her apartment in Wadala, Mumbai in 2012, has jumped parole. He is currently absconding. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Moghul's family paid just Rs 7,000 as surety for his parole. The victim's father is now questioning how only Rs 7,000 could have been fixed as surety for the parole of a 'hardened criminal'. Along with the disgustingly low surety amount, there were other failures of law too. According to the terms set by Nashik Central Prison, where Moghul was serving the first year of his life sentence, he was supposed to report to the Uri Police Station in Jammu, his hometown, every day. He did not report to the police in Uri even once. His 90-day parole ended in May, and Moghul has been on the run for almost a month now, with no trace as to his whereabouts.
