Patna, Nov 2: Former Bihar MLA and Janata Dal (United) candidate from Mokama, Anant Singh, was arrested early Sunday in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj supporter Dular Chand Yadav, in a case that has sent shockwaves through the political circles of Bihar ahead of the state assembly elections.

According to Patna Police, Singh was taken into custody from his residence in Barh along with two associates — Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram — for their alleged involvement in the brutal killing that occurred last Thursday. The incident took place while Yadav, a gangster-turned-politician and former RJD member, was campaigning in Mokama for his nephew, Priyadarshi Piyush, who is contesting on a Jan Suraaj Party ticket.
