Overview
- Justice Rudra Prakash Mishra approved bail on a ₹15,000 bond with conditions that bar interference with evidence, prohibit influencing witnesses, and require attendance on all trial dates, with cancellation allowed for any breach.
- Singh is expected to leave Patna’s Beur Jail within roughly 48 hours after more than four months in custody following his November 1, 2025 arrest.
- The case stems from an October 30, 2025 clash in Mokama in which Dularchand Yadav died; officials cited post-mortem findings of cardiorespiratory failure from blunt-force injury despite a bullet wound to the leg, while the family alleges he was shot and then run over.
- Despite incarceration, Singh won the Mokama Assembly seat, defeating RJD candidate Veena Devi 91,416 to 63,210 for a margin of 28,206 votes, and he briefly appeared on March 16 to vote in Rajya Sabha elections.
- State counsel opposed bail by pointing to Singh’s long criminal history as the probe continued, and police earlier suspended the Ghoswari and Bhadaur SHOs over the handling of the case.
