Bhojpuri Celebrity Pawan Singh Secures Bail in Election Code Breach Case
The Sub-divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) court in Rohtas district, presided over by Magistrate Rajat Deep, granted bail on Tuesday to prominent Bhojpuri film actor and singer Pawan Singh. The case involves alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) during the recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Chaotic Scenes at Court Premises
Upon Pawan Singh's arrival at the court complex, significant commotion erupted as numerous media personnel aggressively attempted to capture photographs and record videos of the celebrity. The film star's security team swiftly intervened to control the situation, preventing the media from getting too close and maintaining order during the proceedings.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
According to Manoj Kumar Agyani, who serves as both Pawan Singh's legal counsel and the president of the Sub-Divisional Bar Association, a First Information Report (FIR) was officially registered against the Bhojpuri star at the Akorhi Gola police station. This legal action specifically pertains to alleged breaches of the Model Code of Conduct that occurred during the intense 2024 Lok Sabha election period.
The case documentation also names three additional individuals as co-accused, including Ambuj Kumar Singh, a resident of Rajpur. All four accused persons presented themselves before the SDJM court for the hearing. After carefully considering arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense legal teams, the judicial magistrate decided to grant bail to all individuals named in the case.
Election Background and Specific Allegations
Pawan Singh had previously entered the political arena as a candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, contesting from the Karakat parliamentary constituency. Unfortunately, his electoral bid proved unsuccessful despite considerable campaign efforts.
The specific allegations against him center around campaign activities that allegedly violated election regulations. During his election campaigning, Pawan Singh reportedly organized a substantial roadshow accompanied by an extensive convoy of luxury vehicles. The legal case specifically addresses two primary violations:
- Conducting a roadshow with a vehicle convoy that exceeded the permissible limit established by election authorities
- Failing to obtain necessary prior permission from relevant authorities before conducting the roadshow event
Multiple Cases Registered
Reliable sources have revealed that this particular case represents just one of several legal challenges faced by the Bhojpuri celebrity during the election period. A total of six separate cases related to Model Code of Conduct violations were officially registered against Pawan Singh throughout the election campaign timeframe.
The distribution of these cases includes five separate filings at the Bikramganj police station and the single case at Akorhi Gola police station that resulted in Tuesday's bail hearing. This pattern suggests repeated allegations of election code violations during Pawan Singh's parliamentary campaign activities.
The granting of bail allows Pawan Singh to remain free while the legal process continues, though he must comply with specific conditions set by the court. The case highlights the strict enforcement of election regulations and the legal consequences that public figures may face when allegedly violating campaign rules during India's democratic electoral processes.
