Dehri MLA Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Sonu Singh has vehemently denied allegations leveled against him in connection with the murder of Vimal Kumar, the Executive Officer (EO) of Dehri Nagar Parishad in Rohtas district. The MLA, from Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), condemned the incident and expressed his solidarity with the bereaved family.

Singh stated that prior to the incident, he, along with other administrative officials, was present at an event titled 'Ek Shaam Shaheedon Ke Naam,' where EO Vimal Kumar was also in attendance. However, Kumar reportedly left the program early, citing illness. The MLA later learned about Kumar's murder through the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) and subsequently visited the hospital. He has directed officials to take stringent action against those responsible for the killing.

Addressing the accusations made by EO Vimal Kumar's wife, MLA Rajiv Ranjan Singh said he was unaware of the basis for her claims. He acknowledged having work-related conversations with EO Vimal Kumar. The MLA assured that the NDA government in Bihar would not spare the culprits and would ensure strict action. He also appealed against politicizing the matter, emphasizing the profound loss suffered by the victim's wife.

Regarding allegations of demanding 50 lakh rupees, the MLA stated that he does not have the time to call any official for such demands. He added that if such allegations are true, call details would confirm them.
