Entity Nandlal Rai (Babloo Rai)
Appellant convicted by a Varanasi sessions court in the 2017 Pramod Kumar Nigam murder case; subject of an October 2026 Allahabad High Court stay pending appeal.
The Allahabad High Court suspended Nandlal Rai’s murder conviction and life sentence during appeal after considering his plans to contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh election. The ruling removes a major electoral disqualification for now, but leaves serious questions about exceptional relief, the murder case and equal treatment before the law.
