FIR against Bihar Congress leader for kidnapping woman

Patna: An FIR has been lodged against Congress legislator Sidharth Kumar Singh for allegedly kidnapping a young woman, police said on Thursday.

"The young woman's father has lodged a case against the legislator from Bikram assembly," a police official said.

"It seems to be a case of love-affair but investigation is on to trace Sidharth Singh," police said.

Locals informed police that Sidharth Singh had eloped with this young woman, who is in her early twenties, in the past also.

Sidharth Singh, a criminal-turned-politician in his early 30s, has served a jail term for murder. He is the son of a reputed Patna-based child specialist Uptal Kant Singh.
