She retweeted the statement of the Central IAS Association, which expressed its deep dismay at the decision of the Bihar government to release the convicts involved in the brutal killing of G Krishnaiah through a change in classification rules of prisoners.
The association urged the Bihar government to reconsider its decision at the earliest and said a convict charged with murder of a public servant on duty cannot be reclassified to a less heinous category.
"Amendment of an existing classification which leads to the release of the convicted killer of a public servant on duty is tantamount to denial of justice," said the IAS Association.

It also stated that such dilution leads to impunity, erosion in morale of public servants, undermines public order and makes a mockery of the administration of justice.
Krishnaiah's family, which lives in Hyderabad, has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and stop the release of former MP Anand Mohan Singh, who had instigated the bureaucrat's lynching.
The IAS officer's wife Uma Devi said that she was shocked by the Bihar government's decision to release Singh. Uma said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should intervene and make Nitish Kumar withdraw his decision, failing which it would set a bad precedent and have serious repercussions for the entire society.
"My husband was an IAS officer and it is the Centre's responsibility to ensure that justice is done," she said.
She alleged that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was releasing the killer of her husband for votes of Rajputs ahead of elections.
