Shri Prakash Shukla
Shri Prakash Shukla (alias Ashok Singh) was an Indian hitman. He used to be hired by primarily politicians to kill their opponents. He was killed on 22 September 1998 in a police encounter in Ghaziabad. He was about 25 at the time of his death.
Life
Shri Prakash Shukla was born in Mamkhor village, Gorakhpur. He is reported to have been a notable wrestler in his village. In 1993, Shukla killed a man called Rakesh Tiwari, because he had whistled at Shukla's sister. This was Shukla's first criminal record. Following the murder, Shukla escaped to Bangkok. He returned and became associated with Suraj Bhan of Mokama, Bihar.
In early 1997, he killed Virendra Shahi, a politician and a member of the state's underworld, in Lucknow. It was presumed that Hari Shankar Tiwari, who was an opponent of Sahi, would be targeted next as Shukla wanted the Chillupar assembly seat. In April 1998, the Uttar Pradesh police formed a Special Task Force (STF) to capture or kill 43 top criminals of the state, Shukla was on the list.
Sri
Shri (Devanagari: श्री, IAST; Śrī), also transliterated as Sree, Shri, Sri, Shree, Si or Seri is a word of Sanskrit origin, used in the Indian subcontinent as a polite form of address equivalent to the English "Mr." or "Ms." in written and spoken language, or as a title of veneration for deities (usually translated as "Holy").
It is also widely used in other South and Southeast Asian languages.
Etymology
Shri has the root meaning of goddess of prosperity.
In Sanskrit grammar, Shri has the feminine gender. It is gender-specific in Sanskrit, but the assumption that it is masculine has resulted in the titles of Shrimati (abbreviated Smt) for married women and Sushri for women (independent of marital status).
Usage
Shri (also Sree, Sri, Shree, श्री) is a polite form of address equivalent to the English "Mr." or "Ms." The title is derived from Sanskrit श्रीमान् (śrīmān). This use may stem from the Puranic conception of prosperity.
Śhrī is also frequently used as an epithet of some Hindu gods, in which case it is often translated into English as Holy. Also in language and general usage, Śhrī if used by itself and not followed by any name then it refers to the supreme consciousness i.e. God.
