Patna, August 5
In its ongoing drive to ensure speedy trials to establish rule of law in the state, the Nitish Kumar government scored a major success today when a Madhubani fast-track court gave life imprisonment to the state president of Samajwadi Party and sitting MLA Devnath Yadav in connection with the murder of Surendra Yadav in 1992.
Surendra Yadav was a close relative of former minister and MP Devendra Prasad Yadav and was known as a Congress leader too. Devnath Yadav is a sitting MLA from Phulparas in Madhubani.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar told mediapersons that his government had already told the police that law was equal for all.
