Nand Kishore Singh, involved in this case, neither has a farm, nor a motor nor a boring. At the same time, Shri Ram Bahadur Singh also does not have any farm, boring or motor. Both are saints due to lack of fields. Don’t do farming at all. Nevertheless, after getting information about the case from the police and department people, the victims were greatly troubled during the last elections.
The former MLA of Jagdishpur said that on the first day of this week, he met with the affected people and submitted a memorandum to the Executive Engineer regarding the entire matter. Told the executive engineer and the officers involved in the case that if there is any video or photo of powering with stolen electricity, then bring it forward and take action. Otherwise they should investigate within a week and return the case.

At the same time, the Executive Engineer says that a memorandum has been received regarding the fake case filed by the victims along with the former MLA. The matter will be investigated and action will be taken as per rules.
