The most high-profile figure embroiled in this case is the influential former legislator Anant Singh, who is directly implicated. Today in court, police will present Anant Singh, along with associates Manikant Thakur and Ranjit Ram, seeking their judicial custody, which might lead to subsequent incarceration.
The authorities aren’t currently planning to remand these suspects, but sources suggest further interrogations could occur post the November 6 Mokama assembly by-election. Aside from this murder, Anant Singh has been charged with violating the Model Code of Conduct, adding to the political tensions during the election period.
