The charge sheet against Singh, MLA from Mokama, was filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Bharat Singh.
Kotwali police had named the MLA as the eighth accused in the murder on the basis of call detail record (CDR) of his landline telephone on which he had allegedly conversed with sharp shooter Bhola Singh.
