Bihar MLA Anant Singh gifts Rs 3-crore Defender to son-in-law, BMW for son

Bihar MLA Anant Singh is back in the spotlight for his penchant for luxury cars, with two expensive vehicles parked at his Patna residence ahead of his daughter's wedding. Singh is planning to gift a Land Rover Defender, estimated to cost around Rs 3 crore, to his future son-in-law, while his son Abhinav is set to receive a BMW worth over Rs 1 crore.The white Land Rover Defender has been brought to Singh's residence ahead of his daughter Shivangi Singh's wedding, scheduled for November 25. The SUV is intended as a wedding gift for his son-in-law, Rishikesh.Reportedly valued at around Rs 3 crore, the vehicle has drawn attention after visuals of it parked at the MLA's residence surfaced. Wedding preparations are also underway at the Patna residence.A black BMW sedan, reportedly worth more than Rs 1 crore, is the other vehicle lined up as a gift. Singh plans to give it to his son Abhinav on the occasion of his sacred thread (janeu) ceremony. The car is expected to receive its registration number soon. The two proposed gifts add to Singh's collection of high-end vehicles, which already includes several luxury SUVs and cars, such as Land Rover models, Toyota Land Cruisers and a Jeep Rubicon. He is also known for travelling in large convoys whenever he steps out.Last month, the JD(U) expelled Singh, widely known as "Chhote Sarkar" and "bahubali" for six years over alleged anti-party activities. The party cancelled primary memberships of him and his wife, former MLA Neelam Devi, accusing them of defying its directives and campaigning for a candidate fielded by a rival party in the Bihar Legislative Council elections. The action followed Singh's open support for Jan Suraaj Party candidate Anuj Singh in the Patna Graduates' constituency election, despite the JD(U) fielding sitting MLC Neeraj Kumar as its official nominee.The November 25 wedding also comes days ahead of a Supreme Court deadline for Singh to surrender by December 1 in connection with a murder case, following the cancellation of his bail.- Ends(With inputs from Sujeet Kumar in Patna)
