Madan Bhaiya is an Indian Politician. Madan Bhaiya was a member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly (1991–1993, 1993–1996, 2002–2007, 2007–2012).[1][2][3][4] Madan Bhaiya has an image of Robin Hood in his area and is referred to as 'bahubali' or 'bhaiya Ji'.[5] In the past, Bhaiya has been linked with gang violence.[6]
Early life[]
Madan Bhaiya was born to Bhuleram Kasana, a lawyer and patwari by profession and Hoshyari Devi, on 11 September 1959, in Jawli Village of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.[1]
He belonged in an affluent family and is the only son of his parents. He was notorious and considered fearless in his youth and known to get involved in scuffles.
Political career[]
Madan Bhaiya unsuccessfully contested the assembly election from Khekada constituency in 1989 as an independent candidate while in jail. He was successfully elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Khekada assembly segment in 1991, while still in Jail.
Khekada was the biggest assembly constituency of the state of Uttar Pradesh until 2008, when a delimitation exercise led to boundary changes and creation of two new constituencies of Sahibabad (Assembly constituency) and Loni (Assembly constituency); these both constituencies share their borders with Delhi, and the remaining area of the Khekada Assembly constituency was merged with the Bagpat (Assembly constituency) and Modinagar (Assembly constituency).
Bhaiya lost to the Bahujan Samaj Party candidate after he contested from the Loni (Assembly constituency) of Ghaziabad in 2012.[7] In the 2017 elections, he lost to the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Nand Kishor Gurjar.[8]
Attack on life[]
There had been several failed attempts to murder Madan Bhaiya. In September 2001, a plot to murder him at his home was foiled by his personal security guards. One of the assailants was identified as the son of his former aide, late Siria Pehalwan.[9] who had been accused of involvement in the kidnapping of renowned industrialist Swatantra Rastogi for a Ransom of ₹5 Crore in July 1999.[10]
On the same day, brother of Siria Pehalwan lodged a police complaint in the Gokulpur Police Station of North East Delhi, alleging Madan Bhaiya and three others of kidnapping his nephew and the other three deceased persons from Gokulpur and later murdering them in Jawli, Ghaziabad.[2] This case is still subjudice. In 2003, a warrant for Bhaiya's arrest was issued after he failed to answer bail.[1]
Due to safety concerns Madan Bhaiya travels in a bulletproof car and in 2008 sought permission for the same from the Election Commission of India. Later in 2010, a controversy erupted when Madan Bhaiya ordered a bulletproof Mitsubishi Pajero for himself for a sum of ₹4,000,000 from a Government Certified Agency, and didn't seek permission from Uttar Pradesh Police officials rather had the superior permission from the Election Commission of India, however the car was eventually delivered to Bhaiya.[2]
Other work[]
