Patna/Lucknow, July 29

After giving a slip to the police for nine days, Daya Shankar Singh, expelled BJP vice-president of the UP unit, was today arrested by a team of Special Task Force from Buxar in Bihar.

Facing charges under the SC/ST Act and other related sections of the IPC for using abusive language against BSP chief Mayawati, Singh did not receive any relief from the Allahabad High Court yesterday, which refused to give him anticipatory bail, paving the way for his arrest.

On July 27, the UP Government had issued a non-bailable warrant against him.

As the derogatory remarks against Mayawati were made by Singh at a meeting in Mau in Uttar Pradesh, the UP Police are expected to take him to Mau, where he would be presented before the SC/ST court tomorrow.

In a related development, eight persons were arrested for attacking BSP national general secretary N Siddiqui’s convoy in Agra.

He had a narrow escape when members of Kshatriya Sabha attacked his convoy today. Reported to be supporters of Daya Shankar Singh, they damaged several cars in Siddiqui’s convoy demanding his arrest for using foul language against the women in Singh’s family.

Condemning the incident, Mayawati said it was the connivance of the BJP-SP that led to the attack.
