The former BJP leader who recently got expelled, Dayashankar Singh is arrested from Bihar. Singh was arrested regarding the complaint filed against him for passing derogatory remarks on BSP Chief Mayawati. He was arrested in a joint operation of state police departments of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar.
A few days back, Dayashankar, in his speech has allegedly compared BSP chief Mayawati to a sex worker. Followed was a huge fuss that the BSP workers created. A complaint was filed against Dayashankar for this. Since then, Singh was out of reach for police and there were searches going on for him.
Singh was recently spotted at a Shiva temple in Jharkhand’s Deoghar district. Many photos of Singh in the temple were uploaded by a priest of the temple who helped him with the darshan on his Facebook account. Later he got arrested from the Buxar area. The Buxar Superintendent of Police Upendra Kumar Sharma has confirmed Singh’s arrest from ‘Chini Mil Mohalla’. Police informed that Singh has been hiding in some relative’s house till date after returning from Deoghar. Earlier, it was presumed that Sigh might have gone to Lucknow to take a refugee as his parents used to live there.
Along with it, Buxar police has also been tracking the temple as they got to know about Singh who usually visits this temple and have several relatives in the area. “As he belongs to Buxar, he has several relatives here and hence, we had been coordinating with UP STF. We raided one of his acquaintances’ residences at Chini Mil on a tip-off and arrested the suspended BJP leader”, said a senior police officer.
Singh has been criticized all over the country for using slanderous remarks for former Chief Minister of UP and accusing her of selling party tickets ahead of the UP polls. His comments also disturbed the working of Parliament as it caused a huge furor in the BSP leaders and workers. Because of the whole incident, BJP was forced to expel their party leader for 6 years.
The drama went to a whole new level after Dayashankar’s wife also met the Governor to file a complaint against BSP leaders and their chief for dragging her into the matter from nowhere and molesting her mother-in-law, her 12-year old daughter and herself again and again in their statements, out of the feeling of revenge. Her complaint is also under consideration.
