Bihar Polls Shocker: JDU Strongman Anant Singh Arrested in Murder Case

This special report covers the arrest of Janata Dal (United) candidate and former MLA, Anant Singh, in connection with the murder of Jan Suraj party supporter Dularchand Yadav in Mokama, Bihar. As political tensions escalate ahead of the assembly polls, Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya K Sharma assured voters, 'Police have arrested three persons — Anant Singh, Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram — in connection with the murder of Dular Chand Yadav.' The arrest occurred following a violent clash during election campaigning. The police have named Anant Singh as the main accused in the FIR, which was filed by Yadav's grandson. An autopsy report revealed Yadav died from a ruptured lung and multiple rib fractures, ruling out a gunshot as the direct cause of death, although a bullet injury was found on his leg. The incident has intensified scrutiny on law and order in the poll-bound state.
