Anant Singh Sent to Judicial Custody in 2020 Attempted Murder Case
Bihar’s controversial politician Anant Singh has been remanded to judicial custody in a 2020 attempted murder case. The Special MP/MLA Court in Patna ordered the move after police completed their interrogation.
Singh, often called the “Bahubali” of Bihar politics, faces charges under the UAPA and Arms Act for allegedly attacking contractor Chhotan Singh. Known for his criminal history, the former JD(U) leader has faced multiple cases, including kidnapping and extortion. Legal experts suggest this could impact Bihar’s political climate ahead of the 2025 elections.
