Patna, March 19 -- Patna High Court on Thursday granted bail to Janata Dal (United) MLA Anant Singh in connection with the murder case of Jan Suraaj supporter Dularchand Yadav.

Anant Singh was arrested before the polling began in the Bihar Assembly election last year, along with two associates, Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram.

However, Anant Singh secured a victory from Mokama assembly constituency in Bihar's Patna district by a margin of 28,206 votes against the RJD candidate and Surajbhan Singh's wife, Veena Devi, who got 63,210 votes. He later took the oath as an MLA in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha assembly. Before taking the oath, he touched Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's feet and took his blessings.
