Patna, March 10 (IANS) Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh received a major relief from the Subdivisional Court Bikramganj in Rohtas district on Monday, as he was acquitted in a model code of conduct violation case.
The ACGM-3 Court of Vijayant Kumar ruled in favour of Pawan Singh, citing a lack of evidence. The case was filed during the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 over a large roadshow and convoy of vehicles.
Multiple FIRs were lodged in Rohtas district’s Karakat, Bikramganj, Sanjhauli, Rajpur, and Akhorigola police stations. These were later merged into one.
The actor expressed faith in the judiciary after the verdict. He had previously secured bail in this case on September 12, 2024.
After his defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Karakat, Pawan Singh is gearing up for the Bihar Assembly elections this year. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Pawan Singh lost to Raja Ram Singh Kushwaha of CPI-ML but secured second place, surpassing NDA candidate Upendra Kushwaha.
As per his assembly election plans, both Pawan Singh and his wife Jyoti Singh have announced their intent to contest, though they haven’t revealed their party affiliation yet.
Jyoti Singh has been actively campaigning in Karakat and Dehri constituencies.
“At present, we are talking to the various political parties. Once, it is finalised, I will join the party first followed by the announcement of the seat,” Jyoti said.
Pawan Singh is likely to join a major party before the election. He has strong support in Rohtas district and it was seen during the Lok Sabha election.
However, Pawan Singh will have the challenge of converting his fan base into a strong voter base to get success. With the Bihar elections heating up, their next move could be crucial in shaping the state’s political dynamics.
With the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections approaching, this decision could be a big relief for him.
