Jharkhand Police Team Heads to Rajasthan to Bring Him Back on Transit Remand

Jamshedpur, July 5: BJP leader and DD Bar owner Niraj Singh has been arrested in Rajasthan in connection with the deadly attack outside his bar in Bistupur that claimed one life and left another person seriously injured.

According to police sources, Singh was arrested near the Khatu Shyam Temple after the Jharkhand Police tracked his location through surveillance and mobile phone records. After identifying his whereabouts, the Jharkhand Police alerted the Rajasthan Police, who detained him. A police team from Jharkhand has now left for Rajasthan to secure his transit remand and bring him back to Jamshedpur for further investigation.

The incident, which reportedly occurred even in the presence of police personnel, triggered widespread public outrage and became a major political issue in Jamshedpur.

An FIR was registered against 11 accused, including Niraj Singh and his manager. Police had launched an extensive search operation following the incident and have now succeeded in arresting the main accused. Officials said further investigation is in progress, and more developments are expected after Singh is brought back to Jamshedpur.
