In a significant legal development, a special court has acquitted former Member of Parliament Dhananjay Singh in a double murder case that has spanned over 15 years. Special Judge Sadiq Siddiqui of the MP-MLA court found Singh not guilty after reviewing arguments and evidence.
The case revolved around the April 1, 2010 murders of Sanjay Nishad and Nandlal Nishad, reportedly over a contract dispute in Kerakat. Initially, police cleared Singh and other accused of charges, but subsequent investigation by the CBCID led to a formal chargesheet.
This verdict marks the end of a prolonged legal saga for Singh, who has been entangled in other legal issues, including extortion and kidnapping allegations. His political journey included key roles within the BSP and a brief independent tenure from the Malhani constituency.
