Former Bihar MLA Anant Singh, the JD(U) candidate from the Mokama seat, was arrested early on Sunday (November 2) in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj supporter Dular Chand Yadav, police said.

Singh has been under the scanner since the death of Yadav, who recently clashed with his sympathisers, and was picked up from his house in Barh, about 200 km from the state capital, Patna.

Police also arrested two other persons, Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram, in connection with the killing of Yadav.

All three will be produced before a court during the day.

Yadav died while he was campaigning for Jan Suraaj Party's candidate Piyush Priyadarshi in Patna's Mokama area on October 30.

The incident had taken place close to the Bhadaur and Ghoswari police stations in the Mokama area.
