Patna Rural SP Vikram Sihag said, "This evening, we received information about a shooting incident between two groups in Nauranga Jalalpur village, under the Panchmahala police station. The station in-charge immediately reached the spot with his team..."
Former MLA Anant Kumar Singh said, "Two people fired and one of my people got injured in the neck... Sonu-Monu are kidnappers and thieves... They loot people's fields... They are thieves and their father is a dacoit."
He roams around with a pistol. If the police had been taking action, I would not have been worried... I demand that there should be an inquiry... But the police take money and take no action... Sonu-Monu are like the chief of the police... I want the people should be safe... I don't demand any security. It is the government's call whether I would go to jail or not... I stand with the people... So what if there is a case against me? I stand with the people. I don't care about the case," Singh said.
