Umashankar Singh, RJD Lok Sabha member from Maharajganj, and his son for want of sufficient evidence in connection with the murder of Bharat Singh, brother of JD(U) MLA Damodar Singh, in Bihar's Siwan district in 2000.
A fast-track court of Ramdarash exonerated Umashanker Singh and his son Jitendra Swamy in connection with kidnapping-cum-murder of Bharat Singh on February 17, 2000.
Earlier during the day, Patna High Court issued a notice to the fast track judge to explain as to why did he pass the order when a petition for transferring the case to another court was being considered by the High Court.
Justice A Amanullah passed the order on the transfer petition filed by Vijay Singh, an informant in the instant case. PTI Corr AJK MM
