Anant Singh Remanded for 14 Days as CID Probes Mokama Campaign Killing

The CID has taken over following Election Commission intervention.

Overview

  • A Patna court sent former MLA and JD(U) candidate Anant Singh to 14 days’ judicial custody and lodged him in Beur jail.
  • Police report three arrests—Anant Singh, Manikant Thakur and Ranjit Ram—and more than 80 people detained for questioning.
  • Jan Suraj Party supporter Dularchand Yadav died after a clash during election campaigning in Mokama on 30 October.
  • The Election Commission transferred the local SDO and two SDPOs, suspended one officer, shifted the rural SP, and sought an action‑taken report from the Bihar DGP.
  • Postmortem accounts remain disputed, with references to cardio‑respiratory failure versus severe chest and lung injuries with a bullet wound, as night raids continue and the family withholds brahmabhoj until all accused are arrested.
