[7] He and six other people, including his wife Lovely Anand, were accused in relation to the 1994 murder of a Dalit District Magistrate (DM) from Gopalganj, G. Krishnaiah, who was lynched on a major highway near to Muzaffarpur during a funeral cortege for the BPP member and gangster, Chhotan Shukla.

The same Supreme Court hearing dismissed an appeal from the Government of Bihar for reinstatement of the death penalty and for an overturning of the acquittal of the six other people.

[7] Soon after that sentence, upon being transferred from Patna's Beur jail to that of Bhagalpur, Singh went on hunger strike in protest of the facilities and being split from Akhlaq Ahmed and Arun Kumar, who had received death penalties in the same case.

[1] Tehelka said in 2007 that it was his muscleman image that made Mohan’s name synonymous with terror in Bihar’s poverty-ridden Saharsa-Supaul belt for the past 20 years.

While Shukla still remains a dreaded figure around Muzaffarpur and Vaishali districts in north Bihar, Mohan is notorious in the Saharsa-Supaul belt as a criminal and sometimes as a kind of folk hero.

[15][16][17] In September-October 2023, Mohan became a part of controversy, which erupted over Manoj Jha's recitation of Thakur ka Kuan poem of Om Prakash Valmiki.

It was also believed that Mohan was disgusted by his treatment earlier at the residence of Lalu Prasad Yadav, where he visited along with his wife Lovely Anand.

[18] This caste feud in the state between Brahmins and Rajputs became sharp after Lalu Prasad Yadav extended his support to Manoj Jha, calling him as an intellectual.
