SC cancels bail granted to expelled JD(U) MLA Anant Singh, directs him to surrender by Dec 1

The Supreme Court of India has revoked the bail previously granted to Anant Singh, a former Janata Dal (United) legislator, in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj Party leader Dularchand Yadav. The court issued this directive following a petition filed by Yadav’s grandson, who challenged the earlier decision made by the Patna High Court. During the hearing, the Supreme Court characterized the circumstances of the case as serious and disturbing, noting that specific allegations regarding the crime would be fully evaluated during the trial proceedings. Legal representatives for the victim highlighted that Yadav was unarmed and was allegedly targeted while campaigning for a rival candidate during recent state assembly elections. In contrast, defense counsel disputed certain claims made by the prosecution, specifically arguing that eyewitness accounts contradicted the assertion that the victim was run over by the accused's vehicle. The court mandated that Singh must surrender by December 1 and instructed the Bihar government to conclude its investigation within a four-month timeframe.

SC directs expelled JD(U) MLA Anant Singh to surrender in Jan Suraaj worker’s killing

The Supreme Court of India has ordered Bihar MLA Anant Kumar Singh to surrender by December 1 in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj worker Dularchand Yadav, whose body was found in a vehicle in Patna in late October 2025. The court canceled the bail previously granted to Singh by the Patna High Court and directed police to conclude their investigation within four months. Singh, who was expelled from the Janata Dal (United) for six years due to 'anti-party activities' during recent legislative council elections, stated he would comply with the court's order but accused JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar of orchestrating the case and procuring false testimony. Neeraj Kumar, who is Yadav's grandson, had successfully challenged Singh's bail and subsequently won his re-election to the Legislative Council.

Bias read (Center): The article maintains neutrality by attributing all claims to specific parties via 'reported' tags and presenting conflicting accusations without adopting a side.
