Mokama MLA Anant Singh on Friday, 30 October 2026 squarely blamed Janata Dal-United (JD-U) MLC Neeraj Kumar for allegedly orchestrating a conspiracy to implicate him in the Dularchand Yadav murder case — his first public reaction after the Supreme Court cancelled his bail and directed him to surrender by 1 December 2026. The allegations have not been independently verified.
Supreme Court Cancels Bail
A Supreme Court bench comprising Justice M.M. Sundresh and Justice P.V. Varale set aside the bail earlier granted to Anant Singh by the Patna High Court, ruling that the High Court had not adequately weighed the nature of the crime or Singh's criminal history at the time of granting relief. The court has given him until 1 December 2026 to surrender before the concerned authorities.
Singh said he accepted the court's direction and would comply with the surrender deadline. He expressed hope of securing bail again in the future, stating he had full faith in the judiciary and expected justice to prevail.
Anant Singh's Allegations Against Neeraj Kumar
Singh alleged that Neeraj Kumar was the driving force behind all the cases filed against him, including the Dularchand Yadav murder case. He claimed Kumar had orchestrated the killing and deliberately framed him. The MLA was categorical that his dispute was not with the JD-U as a party but specifically with Neeraj Kumar.
He further alleged that the JD-U and the Bihar state government had acted on Kumar's suggestions, holding him responsible for the sequence of events that followed. He also made an oblique reference to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's health, suggesting that these developments would not have occurred had the JD-U leader been in better condition. These claims remain unverified.
Breaks With Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh
In a significant political signal, Singh announced that he would no longer seek meetings with either Chief Minister Nitish Kumar or Union Minister Lalan Singh. He also took a sharp swipe at the JD-U, predicting the party would struggle to win even a single seat in future elections.
On whether his son would enter electoral politics, Singh said he personally wanted his son to contest elections, but that the final decision would rest with the son himself.
JD-U MLC Neeraj Kumar Denies Involvement
Responding to the accusations, JD-U MLC Neeraj Kumar categorically rejected any involvement in the matter. He clarified that the individual named Neeraj Kumar in connection with the Dularchand Yadav family's petition was an entirely different person and had no connection to him. Kumar declined to comment on the Supreme Court's judicial decision, but suggested that such allegations were part of a broader attempt to defame the government.
What Comes Next
With Singh set to surrender by 1 December 2026, the political fallout in the Mokama constituency — long considered his stronghold — will be closely watched. His son's potential political entry and the future trajectory of his legal battles are likely to shape the JD-U versus Singh dynamic in the lead-up to state elections.
Point of View
But it also signals a deeper fracture within Bihar's ruling alliance. By publicly writing off Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh and predicting JD-U's electoral collapse, Singh is positioning himself — or his family — as an independent political force in Mokama, well before the next state election cycle. Whether that bet pays off without his physical presence on the ground remains the real open question.
