On April 28, four other accused in the case, including Angad Yadav, were convicted by the court.

In December 2015, advocate Rajnarayan Singh was shot dead under an over-bridge near a railway station under the Sidhari police station’s area. His wife Sudha Singh had filed a police complaint against Angad Yadav, a former Bahujan Samaj Party MLA from Nizamabad, and a few others.
