Police investigations have found involvement of suspended lawmaker Sanjay Sah as the mastermind in the murder of media entrepreneur Arun Singhaniya. Sah is already serving a jail sentence after being convicted for his role in the bomb blast four years ago in Janakpur that killed five persons. Organizing a press meet in Janakpur, District Police Office (DPO), Dhanusha accused Sah of being the architect of Singhaniya's murder. Publisher of Janakpur Today, Singhaniya had repeatedly published news report against Sah. Vexed at all the negative attention the news reports brought against him, Sah spent a million to get Singhaniya murdered, according to the police.
As per the police, Janakpur Today had published the news about Sah's involvement in the robbery at the home of then District Development Committee (DDC)'s accountant Jiwanath Chaudhary on August 30, 2008. Police investigations show that Sah had warned Singhaniya for several times not to write about him. But Singhaniya ignored his threats. According to Superintendent of Police (SP) Ramdutta Joshi, then State Minister for Physical Planning and Construction, Sah had asked his accomplice Rambinod Yadav and Chanardeep Yadav to get rid of Singhaniya. He had promised them a million rupees for the task.
