A retired IPS officer has accused Bihar Minister Leshi Singh of possessing sophisticated weapons such as AK-47, AK-56 and Self Loading Rifle (SLR).
Amitabh Kumar Das, a 1994 batch IPS officer, has written a letter to Bihar DGP SK Singhal, urging him to immediately conduct raids on different locations to recover the weapons. Leshi Singh has been recently appointed the food and consumer Affairs Minister in the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government."Keeping these weapons is a serious criminal offence. Only armed forces and police departments are entitled to procure such weapons," he said."I have specific information about Leshi Singh keeping a huge cache of arms and ammunition like AK-47, AK-56, SLR in her various known and unknown houses. These weapons could be sent to Nepal if raids are not conducted in time," Das said.
