The arrest of JD(U) candidate Anant Singh and the murder of Jan Suraj worker Dular Chand Yadav have heated up the entire election atmosphere. The Election Commission (EC) has also issued orders for transfer of Patna SP (Rural) and action against many officers, showing strictness.

Apart from Anant Singh, who else was arrested?

Late Saturday night, Bihar Police arrested controversial former MLA Anant Singh from his house in Barh. He is accused of playing a role in the murder of Jan Suraj supporter Dularchand Yadav. Police have also arrested two other people, Manikant Thakur and Ranjit Ram. Patna SSP Kartikeya Sharma said that according to the post-mortem report, Yadav died of cardiorespiratory failure due to “hard object injury to the heart and lungs”. That means this attack was very violent.

Election Commission's strictness: Patna SP and 3 officers removed

Considering the matter as very serious, the Election Commission ordered the transfer of Patna Rural SP Vikram Sihag and suspension of three officers. The Commission said that conducting fair elections in Mokama is its priority. Also, instructions have been given to deploy new officers in place of Barh's SDM, SDPO-1 and SDPO-2. This action shows the strictness of the Election Commission that it wants to adopt against the elements who disturb law and order.

Will Anant Singh's arrest be a blow to JD(U)?
