Controversial former Bihar MLA Anant Singh , who seeks to reclaim Mokama seat on a ticket of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), was arrested in a late-night operation on Saturday in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj supporter Dular Chand Yadav. The Police also arrested two other persons, Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram, who were also present when the incident took place.

The arrest, confirmed by Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kartikeya Sharma, sends shockwaves through the political landscape of poll-bound Bihar, particularly in the notoriously volatile Mokama constituency.
