Patna, Dec 23 (IANS) A case was lodged against two legislators of Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) for demanding Rs.1 crore from a contractor, police said Thursday.
D.N. Singh, a contractor in Rohtas district, lodged a case against Sunil Pandey and his brother Hulash Pandey for demanding money from him and threatening him with dire consequences if it was not paid. |
A police officer in Sasaram, district headquarters of Rohtas, told IANS that investigations were on.
Additional Director General of Police P.K. Thakur said here that the guily will not be spared.
Sunil and Hulash are members of the state's assembly and legislative council, respectively.
The bahubalis (musclemen) are well known criminal-turned-politicians and have several criminal cases against them.
In 2008, a trial court sentenced Sunil Pandey, who represents the Tarari constituency in Bhojpur district, and four others to life imprisonment for kidnapping a doctor in Patna.
He was acquitted by the Patna High Court in July this year.
