Kushwaha Shashi Bhushan Mehta, also known as S.B.P. Mehta, is an Indian politician and an MLA elected from Panki Assembly constituency of Jharkhand state as a member of Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019 and 2024.[1][2]
In 2024, he was made the candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party once again from the Panki Assembly constituency, which he retained successfully after defeating independent candidate Devendra Kumar Singh, the runner-up.[3] He defeated Singh with a margin of 9,796 votes. The Indian National Congress candidate Lal Suraj was the second runner-up.[4]
Mehta was associated with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha political party before joining BJP.[5] He owns the Oxford Group of Institutions— a chain of schools spread across Ranchi and Palamu, which includes Oxford Public School of Ranchi.[6] He was the main accused in the murder of Suchitra Mishra, the warden of Oxford Public School in Ranchi, of which he was director at the time.[7] However, he was acquitted later in this case.[8]
