Patna: In a setback to Lok Janshakti Party MP Surajbhan Singh, the Patna High Court on Wednesday dismissed his petition seeking stay on his conviction in a murder case to enable him to contest the Lok Sabha polls.
A division bench comprising justices Shivakirti Singh and DD Jha turned down Singh's contention for staying his conviction in Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Ramji Singh's murder case.
Ramji Singh was killed in Begusarai district in Bihar in 1992.
A Begusarai court convicted Surajbhan Singh in the murder case and sentenced him to life imprisonment. He was later granted bail by the High Court.
Earlier during the day, Suraj Singh alias Surajbhan Singh was interrogated by the Nawada police in Bihar in connection with an FIR registered against him in the murder case of Madhuresh Kumar Singh of Kochgaon village in Nawada district on Tuesday.
Madhuresh was allegedly killed for supporting Akhilesh Singh, a ganglord contesting the Nawada seat as an independent against the MP's wife Veena Singh (LJP).
