Singh has been taken into custody by Bihar police, who sought his transit remand from the Shivajinagar District and Sessions Court of Pune yesterday evening. The accused will now be taken to Gaya District Court for further legal proceedings.

Singh is allegedly involved in the Naxal attack in which 35 persons belonging to upper caste Bhumihar community were killed in Baragaon village in 1992. He had, ostensibly, fled to Pune afterwards, and was working as a security guard here since. Singh’s nine other accomplices were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court. Singh revealed his involvement in the attack when he was questioned by Khadak police.
