Criminal cases against a BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh have been scrapped after a nod from the state home department last week. The change in the stance of the law ministry comes amid the political furore in Bihar over the release of Anand Mohan Singh, convicted for killing Gopalganj District Magistrate G Krishnaiah in 1994.
The state government's move to tweak rules that enabled his release has been severely criticised by the BJP.
Former MLA Raghuraj Singh Kansana was accused in a string of cases. In 2012, he was charged with serious offences such as dacoity, attempted murder and kidnapping in Morena.
In 2018, Kansana was elected as an MLA for the Congress. Shortly after, the Kamal Nath government attempted to have the cases against him dismissed, but the law department refused, claiming that the charges were too serious to be dropped.
