Patna (Bihar) [India], January 24 (ANI): Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Friday spoke on the firing incident involving the former MLA Anant Singh and said that action would be taken against the guilty.
Speaking about the incident, Choudhary said while speaking to the media, “Action is underway. Whoever is found guilty, action will be taken against them..”
Meanwhile, the Panchmahla Police of Bihar arrested one accused involved in the incident that took place between the two gangs in Mokama.
The arrested was identified as Sonu Singh of the Sonu-Monu gang.
On January 23, former MLA Anant Singh had alleged that one of his people had got injured in the neck after the two people opened fire at his group.
The former MLA identified the alleged accused involved in the firing incident as Sonu and Monu and called them “kidnappers and thieves.”
The incident reportedly happened when Anant Singh, a strongman in the region reached Nauranga village along with his men to settle some disputes brought to his notice by some locals.
Talking to ANI Singh said, “Two people fired and one of my people got injured in the neck. Sonu and Monu are kidnappers and thieves. They loot people’s fields. They are thieves and their father is a dacoit. He roams around with a pistol. If the police had been taking action, I would not have been worried. I demand that there should be an inquiry.”
“But the police takes money and takes no action. Sonu and Monu are like the chiefs of the police. I want that people should be safe. I don’t demand any security. It is the government’s call whether I would go to jail or not. I stand with the people. So what if there is a case against me? I stand with the people. I don’t care about the case,” he said.
According to the initial police investigation, the clash reportedly stemmed from a dispute over property and a loan amount. The situation escalated when Sonu and Monu allegedly seized a house belonging to Mahesh Singh.
In support of Mahesh Singh, former MLA Anant Singh reached the location, leading to an exchange of gunfire between the two parties, said ASP Rakesh Kumar
Choudhary while speaking to the media also said that he had requested the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the state in February.
“The Prime Minister always comes to Bihar… we have requested him to come in February and he will gift Bihar several things..” he said. (ANI)
