Police team on way to Patna to arrest Giriraj Singh; Giriraj says, he will surrender before court tomorrow

BJP leader Giriraj Singh has said he will surrender before the court tomorrow but did not say whether he would do so in Jharkhand or in Bihar. He was talking to PTI in Patna today.

Three FIRs – two at Deogarh and Bokaro in Jharkhand and one in Patna – were lodged against him at the behest of the Election Commission. The BJP leader has barred him from campaigning in the two states in the wake of his April 18 controversial remarks that those opposing BJP PM nominee Narendra Modi should go to Pakistan.

Singh's statement had provoked outrage from various political quarters, including his own party. AIR Correspondent reports that a police party has been sent Patna to arrest Giriraj Singh.
