A 30-year-old inmate lodged in Shahjahanpur jail has cleared Class 10th Uttar Pradesh board exams bagging first division. According to police officials, Manoj Yadav was awarded capital punishment by a Sessions Court in November last year for murdering a five-year-old child in 2015.
A resident of the Kalan area of the district, Yadav scored 64 per cent marks in the board examination, Superintendent of Shahjahanpur Jail BD Pandey told PTI, according to The New Indian Express.
An inmate of quiet demeanour, he was awarded capital punishment a few months after applying for the class 10th examination.
"After being awarded the capital punishment, he left studies for a month and isolated himself. Our staff noticed this and with the involvement of counsellors, he was encouraged to concentrate on his exams," Pandey said.
With efforts from jail staff and the personal involvement of the Superintendent, Yadav began his studies again and cleared the exams with flying colours. He was one of the four inmates to apply for the exams.
One more inmate has scored passing marks, Pandey said. "He was delighted when we told him about the result. This will certainly help him stay positive and spend his energy on positive things until his punishment is commuted," he said.
