"Nitish ji has acted against all law offenders, irrespective of their party or clout they may claim to have. In the same spirit, to support primacy of law, the police have arrested Anant Singh. In this case, the law will take its course," JD (U) leader Pavan Varma told ANI.
"Nitish ji and other senior party leaders have always made it clear that nobody is above the law," he added.
Earlier in the day, JD (U) leader Anant Singh, an MLA from Mokamah, was arrested by the Bihar Police from his residence in connection with a murder case.
