On 11 April 2017, Sanjeev Singh, who was accused of the murder of his brother Neeraj Singh, an Indian National Congress leader, and three others in a shootout in Dhanbad[9] surrendered at the police station.[10] The case is currently under trial at the Dhanbad District Court.[11] The incident took place on 21 March 2017, and was perpetrated by unidentified motorcycle assassins[12][13] at the Saraidhela Police Station, Dhanbad.[14][15]

The Janta Mazdoor Sangh is the largest and the most influential trade union in Dhanbad and in the Bharat Coking Coal Limited. The Sangh was founded by the Late Suryadeo Singh and is now headed by Sanjeev Singh.
