Gangster Sonu Singh arrested today

Earlier today, police arrested gangster Sonu in relation to the firing incident. He is the gangster of the 'Sonu-Monu gang'. Pramod Singh, father of Sonu and Monu condemned Sonu's arrest and said, "They (Police team) had come here at 1-2 am in the night. A forensic team from Patna has also come. They are carrying out investigations. They have recovered a few empty bullet shells. This is a very unfortunate incident. We condemn this."

Former MLA Anant Singh

The gangster-turned-politician, whose MLA wife crossed over from the opposition RJD to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U), is also known as 'chhote sarkar'. He had represented the Mokama assembly seat several times.

The former legislator faced disqualification from the assembly after he was convicted in June 2020 in a case which was registered following the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, ammunition and two hand grenades from his ancestral residence two years earlier.

However, in August 2024, the Patna High Court acquitted Singh of the criminal charges of illegally possessing an AK-47 rifle along with other arms and directed the authorities to release him from jail.
