The troubles for former JDU MLA Anant Singh have mounted in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. During the hearing, the Supreme Court clarified that a serious matter like murder cannot simply be viewed as a political dispute. Staying the High Court’s order, the Supreme Court has directed Anant Singh to surrender by December 1 and has also instructed the police to conclude the investigation within four months.
During the proceedings, Anant Singh’s counsel requested relief from an immediate surrender, citing his daughter’s upcoming wedding. However, the Supreme Court set a deadline of December 1 for his surrender. The court noted that the investigation is ongoing, and that witness testimonies and evidence will be examined during the trial.
Citing daughter’s wedding, yet ordered to surrender by December 1
During the hearing, the Supreme Court stated that the investigation into the case is currently underway, and that witnesses will be examined during the trial. The court indicated that the accused must surrender and further directed the police to complete the investigation within four months. In this matter, Anant Singh had sought to defer his surrender by citing his daughter’s wedding.
Anant Singh expelled from JDU; action also taken against his wife
Beyond the Dularchand Yadav murder case, Anant Singh is also facing difficulties within his party. The JDU recently expelled both him and his wife from the party. The party has also written to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, demanding the termination of Anant Singh’s legislative membership.
When asked about this decision, JDU National Executive President Sanjay Kumar Jha stated that the party operates based on discipline, and all decisions are reached through consensus. He added that the final approval rests with Nitish Kumar; regardless of whether one agrees with a decision, it must be accepted.
In fact, during the Legislative Council elections, Anant Singh had been making persistent statements against the JDU candidate, Neeraj Kumar. He exerted all his efforts to ensure Neeraj Kumar’s defeat and extended his support to Anuj Singh, the candidate for the ‘Jan Suraj’ party. However, Neeraj Kumar emerged victorious in the election. Following this, the party initiated action against Anant Singh and his wife.
Arrested on murder charges following his victory in Mokama
Anant Singh had won the Mokama seat on a JDU ticket in the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly elections. During the election campaign, on October 30, Dularchand Yadav was murdered. Anant Singh was accused in connection with this murder and was subsequently arrested. At the time, Dularchand Yadav was campaigning for Piyush Priyadarshi, a candidate for the ‘Jan Suraj’ party.
