Who is Saroj Singh?
Saroj Singh was a constable in the 2008 batch of Bihar Police and was posted at the traffic police station in Jehanabad district. He had 9 criminal cases registered against him. Due to his indiscipline and criminal behavior, he was suspended and departmental proceedings were initiated.
Criminal History:
His record includes charges of attempted murder, illegal land grabbing, molestation, fraud, and violations under the Arms Act. In late 2024 alone, three serious cases were registered against him, including provisions under the new criminal code (BNS).
Murder Plot Foiled:
The STF received intelligence that Saroj Singh and his gang were planning to assassinate Prince Mukhiya and Naveen Singh of Sultanpur. Acting swiftly, the police foiled the plot in time and apprehended the accused with illegal weapons.
Ongoing Investigation:
A case has been registered at the Moaddinnagar police station, and further investigations and legal proceedings are underway. Raids are continuing at various locations including Patna.
This operation is being considered a major success in ensuring the security of the state. The police’s prompt action not only exposed a large criminal network but also prevented a planned murder from taking place.
