National president of Dara Sena Mukesh Jain on Friday said Dara Singh, who was awarded death sentence in the Staines’ murder case, will contest the Lok Sabha elections from Puri.

Jain said Dara Singh’s decision to contest ‘‘should not face any legal obstacles as his appeal challenging a lower court order awarding him capital punishment has been admitted by the Orissa High Court’’.
