New Delhi, July 4 -- While sentencing Bihar MLA Raju Kumar Singh, the Rouse Avenue court expressed its concern over the use of a weapon even on a social occasion. The court cautioned that many aspiring gang leaders have stepped into politics on the strength of the gun.

"We need neither a Singham nor a Pushpa in a state governed by the rule of law. The brazen act of firing by Raju Kumar Singh was, however, an inspiration to both such aspirations," Special Judge Vishal Gogne said on Saturday.

The court made the remarks while sentencing Singh to 4 years' imprisonment for the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304 Part 2 IPC and two months imprisonment for the offence under the Arms Act.
