With his party's influential MLA Anant Singh locked in <g data-gr-id="12">jail</g> in a kidnapping case, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said <g data-gr-id="13">law</g> was equal for everybody.

"Law is functioning on its own ... my government will neither shield any law-breaker nor implicate anybody in any false case," Kumar said after a meeting of the state cabinet.

"The government does not work under anybody's pressure. Law is equal for everybody," Kumar said speaking for the first time after the arrest of the JD(U) strongman Singh, who represents Mokamah assembly seat.

Kumar asserted that rule of law prevailed in the state under his government and he stood firmly on the promise made to people during "Nyaya Yatra" in 2005.
