PATNA: RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Tuesday released a list of criminal cases against JD(U) MLA from Kuchaikote, Amrendra Kumar Pandey alias Pappu Pandey, and expressed surprise over silence maintained by state DGP Gupteshwar Pandey in the triple murder case in which the ruling party legislator is an accused and absconding.
The parents and brother of one J P Yadav, a local RJD leader, were killed while JP himself received gunshot injuries when assailants attacked their house at Rupanchak village under Hathua police station in Gopalganj district on May 24 night.

“I also want to know from the state government as how long the SIT formed will take to find out the MLA’s role in the murder of three members of a family under Hathua police station area last month,” Tejashwi said. “DGP frequently visits the site of occurrences across the state. But in this case, he neither visited the spot nor released any official statement,” the leader of opposition in state legislative assembly sarcastically said.
The MLA, on the other hand, released a video pleading his innocence in the triple murder case. “I am being implicated in the case for political reasons. There is nothing but a well-hatched conspiracy behind it to defame me,” he said in a video released on social media.
When contacted, Gopalganj SP Manoj Kumar Tiwari said, “The MLA’s brother Satish Pandey and his son Mukesh Pandey have already been arrested in the triple murder case. Raids are on to nab other accused, who have been absconding after the incident.”
Tejashwi alleged that BJP worker Krishna Shahi was killed in Gopalganj at the behest of Pandey a few months ago, but police suppressed the fact for obvious reasons.
