Popular among his supporters as “Chhote Sarkar”, Singh is among I of the 20 bahubali leaders or their relatives to win the Bihar polls.

Singh, who was arrested early on November 2 in connection with the murder of strongman Dularchand Yadav, defeated RJD’s Veena Devi, wife of local gangster-turned-former lawmaker Surajbhan Singh, by a margin of 28,206 votes.

Jailed RJD leader Rit Lal Roy, who is booked under multiple criminal cases, contested the polls from Danapur seat. He, however, lost to senior BJP leader Ram Kripal Yadav by 29,188 votes.
