'I Killed 9 People For Him': JDU MLA Anant Singh's Shocking Claim
Mokama MLA Anant Singh sparks outrage by claiming he orchestrated nine murders to support Nitish Kumar's early political career.
In a stunning admission that has sent shockwaves through Bihar's political landscape, Mokama MLA and Janata Dal (United) leader Anant Singh, popularly known as 'Chhote Sarkar', has claimed on camera that he orchestrated nine murders to aid Nitish Kumar during the Chief Minister's early days in politics.
A Confession of 'Sacrifice'
Speaking on Friday, October 16, 2026, the firebrand leader did not mince words while discussing his loyalty to the party leadership. Singh asserted that his contributions to Nitish Kumar's rise were unmatched, framing his criminal actions as personal sacrifices for the political cause.
"Who has made as many sacrifices as I have? Nitish Kumar was nothing back then; he used to roam around here and there. At that time, while being with Nitish Kumar, I got nine people murdered," Singh stated boldly.
Internal War Within JDU
This explosive revelation comes at a time of extreme volatility within the JDU. The party is currently grappling with intense internal friction surrounding the Patna Graduates' constituency MLC election. With voting scheduled for October 23 and counting on October 27, the atmosphere has turned toxic.
Anant Singh has openly declared war on the party's official candidate, Neeraj Kumar, whom he has labeled as an "enemy." In a move of blatant defiance against his own party, Singh has shifted his support to Dr. Anuj Singh, the candidate representing the Jan Suraj Party.
Family Ties and Escalating Tensions
The conflict has become even more personal with the entry of the Chief Minister's family. Nishant Kumar, son of Nitish Kumar, has been actively campaigning on the ground for Neeraj Kumar, further deepening the rift between the party leadership and the Mokama MLA.
While senior leaders, including Lalan Singh, have previously attempted to mediate and reconcile the differences, these efforts appear to have failed, leaving the party divided on the eve of a crucial election.
A History of Crime
Anant Singh is no stranger to the legal system. His political career has run parallel to a long and storied criminal record, featuring numerous charges related to kidnapping, violations of the Arms Act, and multiple counts of murder.
Having rejoined the JDU in 2025, Singh's most recent brush with the law involved the murder case of Dularchand Yadav, a matter for which he was released on bail in March 2026.
