Police clamps down on Sobhraj's free style 'love' in jail

Shirish B. Pradhan Kathmandu, July 4 (PTI) Authorities in Kathmandu's Central Jail in Nepal have clamped down on Charles Sobhraj's free style frolicking with his 20-year-old new love, whom the celebrity criminal plans to wed after his release. Sixty-four-year-old Sobhraj has been 'engaged' with Neha alias Nihita Bishwas and plans to marry her when he is released from the Nepal prison, where he is languishing since September 2003.
Nicknamed the 'Bikini killer' and 'Serpent', Sobhraj has been accused of luring young women and killing many of them. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a District Court in July 2004 on charges of murdering an American and a Canadian tourist in Kathmandu in 1975.
Meanwhile, the jail administration has "restricted" the open display of love between Sobhraj and his young lover, often in front of prisoners and jail staff. The administration has now forced the "Bikini killer" and his lover to go indoor.
"He can meet people, but there must be some norms that has to be followed," a jail staff said. A Nepali language daily, 'Naya Patrika', said Nihita even complained to the Director General of the Jail Management that she had been barred from spending private moments with her lover.
"We have restricted such acts inside the jail but we have allowed Nikita to bring food for him," he was quoted as saying by the Nepali daily. Nihita, with a Nepali mother and a Bengali father based in Kathmandu, frequently comes to meet Sobhraj, jail officials said.
"The girl every day brings food for him and they share the food together," one of the staff said.
