An FIR has been lodged against independent MLA and strongman Anant Singh and five others in a murder case two days back.

The deceased, was travelling along with his wife Nikki Devi and brother Lalan Kumar by Patna-Ranchi Patliputra Express when the incident occurred.

Singh, an independent MLA from Mokama assembly constituency, had resigned from the ruling Janata Dal(United) and successfully contested 2015 assembly poll from jail.
The MLA, who was arrested in June last year in connection with a kidnapping-cum-murder case, is currently out on bail.
