raj kumar singh is an indian politician who formerly served as a 1975 batch bihar cadre indian administrative service officer .
on 30 october 1990 , when district magistrate of samastipur , he arrested l. k. advani , a senior figure in the bharatiya janata party -lrb- bjp -rrb- , while advani 's rath yatra was en route to ayodhya in uttar pradesh from somnath in gujarat .
the arrest was made by order of the lalu prasad yadav government .
there was speculation that singh would contest from the bihar constituencies of either arrah or supaul in the 2014 lok sabha polls , though rashtriya swayamsevak sangh objected to him contesting from supaul .
on 13 december 2013 , singh joined the bjp .
he contested the election as a bjp candidate in arrah , beating his nearest rival by a margin of over 135000 votes .
