Tensions Rise In Bihars Mokama After Firing On Former MLA Anant Singh, Police Hunt For Sonu-Monu Gang

Tension prevailed in Bihar's Mokama town following an incident of indiscriminate firing on former MLA Anant Singh. The police were on the lookout for the Sonu-Monu gang, which is the prime accused in the case, said officials on Thursday. The firing incident happened on Wednesday in Nauranga Jalalpur village. The district police have intensified their presence in the area, with Barh DSP camping in the village.

Nauranga village has effectively been turned into a police cantonment as security measures have been ramped up. After the incident, all members of the Sonu-Monu gang fled the scene, raising questions about who Sonu and Monu are and how they operate in the Mokama area. Sonu Singh and Monu Singh are brothers from Jalalpur village. They have long been rivals of former MLA Anant Singh.

The conflict between the two parties stems from Sonu and Monu's association with a group that opposes Anant Singh. However, after Anant Singh's release from jail, the strained relationship between the brothers and the former MLA had reportedly improved.
