Bihar gangster-turned politician Anant Kumar Singh on Thursday gave his voice sample to the police in connection with a case of alleged conspiracy to kill a contractor and his brother.
Singh, an Independent MLA who represents Mokama Assembly segment, appeared at the forensic science laboratory (FSL) situated inside the state police headquarters here in pursuance of a notice affixed on his residence a couple of days ago.
In the notice, Singh had been asked to give his voice sample for matching the same with an audio clip that has gone viral. In the clip appeared to be a telephonic conversation, a voice, allegedly of Singh, is heard plotting to kill Bhola Singh, a contractor, and his brother Mukesh Singh.
Bhola Singh had survived a bid on his life last week following an FIR was lodged by Mukesh Singh associated with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) in which he alleged that he suspected the Mokama MLA to have masterminded the attack.
The audio clip surfaced later on.

FSL director Ashok Kumar said "Forensic tests will ascertain whether the voice in the audio clip is of the MLA or not. The report will come out within two to four days.
The 'bahubali' MLA accused a senior leader of the ruling party of trying to frame him in the case.
"This is the game of Neeraj Kumar," Anant Singh told reporters upon emerging from the police headquarters, targeting the state's Information and Public Relations Department minister.
Neeraj Kumar had unsuccessfully contested the 2015 assembly polls from Mokama.
Anant Singh's elder brother Dilip Singh had been a history-sheeter and had served as a minister during the tenure of RJD government headed by Rabri Devi.
Anant Singh made his electoral debut in 2005, wresting Mokama back from another gangster-turned-politician Suraj Bhan Singh with whom his family has had a running feud.
Once believed to be close to Nitish Kumar, Anant Singh
who had twice won the seat for the JD(U) parted ways with the chief minister a few months ahead of the last Assembly polls when he was arrested in a case of kidnapping and extortion.
The Mokama MLA later quit the JD(U).
