Court sends Anant Singh to jail for 14 days, CEC says violence will not be tolerated in elections

Janata Dal United candidate Anant Singh has been arrested and held in Patna in connection with the murder of Dularchand Yadav, a supporter of the Jansuraj candidate in the Mokama Assembly constituency. He was interrogated in the extortion cell of the Patna SSP office from Sunday morning until 12 noon. He was held there under tight security. From there, he was produced in court. Patna Police will not take him on remand. The court subsequently remanded him to 14-day judicial custody. Patna Police will now transport him directly from the court to Beur Jail. Police personnel have been deployed at every corner of the area. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, reacting to the Mokama murder case, said that the Election Commission has no party or opposition. The Election Commission wants to make it clear that any act of violence will not be tolerated. Strict action will be taken against those who disrupt the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, DGP Vinay Kumar said, "The Patna SSP clarified in a press briefing how the arrests were made. This is a matter of thorough investigation. Only after the investigation will it be clear whose motives were what. Dularchand Yadav was killed in this incident. A clash broke out between supporters of both candidates. Supporters of both sides, riding vehicles, clashed and pelted stones. Cases have been registered in connection with all these incidents, and more than 80 people have been arrested so far, including in this murder case. Those found to be involved in these incidents are being arrested based on evidence. The weapon has not yet been recovered. Efforts are underway to recover it. The primary objective is to establish who fired the shot. After the weapon is recovered, a forensic examination will be conducted.

"Justice should be given to me and my family."

Regarding the arrest of Anant Singh in the Dularchand Yadav murder case, Dularchand Yadav's grandson, Neeraj Yadav, said that Anant Singh has been arrested, but the remaining four accused are still roaming freely. Anant Singh is the "Sardar," and his four "disciples" are free. They pose a threat to my life. There is a conspiracy behind this case, and many people are involved. I demand that the remaining four accused be arrested as soon as possible. I want Anant Singh to be hanged. I believe the government also has a role in this case. Only one person has been arrested, while the remaining four will be arrested after November 6th. I request everyone to ensure justice for me and my family. I have no political motive at this time; I only want justice."
