Former MLA Anant Singh has got a big relief from Patna High Court. The court has acquitted him in the AK 47 and bullet proof case. The court acquitted him due to lack of evidence. In this case, Patna Civil Court has sentenced Anant Singh to 10 years of imprisonment. Anant Singh has been in jail since 2016. At present, there is no case pending against Anant Singh. Therefore, Anant Singh will come out of jail today or tomorrow.
Anant Singh came out on parole during the Lok Sabha elections. During this time, he gave full electoral support to JDU candidate Lallan Singh in his area. After this, Anant Singh said that he will soon be out permanently. Anant Singh is saying that he has been deliberately framed by IPS officer Lipi Singh. However, then Anant Singh was with the opposition. Now the political situation has changed. Anant Singh's wife Neelam Devi, who was an MLA of RJD, has now left the party and joined JDU.
During parole, Anant Singh himself helped JDU candidate Lallan Singh in the election, when voters of Anant Singh's own caste were angry with Lallan Singh. His election vehicle got stuck in Mokama and surrounding areas, which was saved by Anant Singh.
Mokama is considered to be Anant Singh's impregnable fort. Lalan Singh challenged him in the years 2005, 2010 and 2015. In the years 2010 and 2005, Lalan Singh contested the elections from Ram Vilas Paswan's party LJP. Once Lalan Singh was behind Anant Singh by just two thousand votes.
