The Election Commission on Saturday ordered the transfer of Patna Superintendent of Police (Rural) Vikram Sihag and action against three other officials, taking a stern view of violence in Bihar's Mokama in which gangster-turned-politician Dular Chand Yadav was killed during poll campaigning. The incident occurred on Thursday in Mokama, which falls in Patna district but is located 100 km from the city. Yadav's nephew Piyush Priyadarshi is contesting on a Jan Suraaj Party ticket from Mokama. On Friday, Yadav's supporters pelted stones at the car of Rashtriya Janata Dal's Mokama candidate Veena Devi.
It also ordered the replacement of Mokama Sub-Divisional Officer-cum-Returning Officer Chandan Kumar, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (Barh-1) Rakesh Kumar, and SDPO (Barh-2) Abhishek Singh. The Commission directed disciplinary proceedings against all three, and suspended Singh with immediate effect.
