Former RJD MP Prabhunath Singh, Lalu’s aide, convicted in 22-year-old murder case

Ashok Singh, a Janata Dal MLA from Masrakh, was killed at his house in Patna following which Prabhunath Singh was named as the prime accused in the murder case.

Singh was only 28 at the time of his murder. His wife Chandni Devi had filed an FIR at the Secretariat police station in Patna.  He was a political rival of Prabhunath Singh and had even defeated him once in the assembly elections.

In 1997, the Patna High Court had transferred the case from Patna to Hazaribagh.
