Overview
- Patna Police arrested the Purnea MP late Friday at his Mandiri residence after a tense standoff in which he alleged plainclothes officers and a threat to his life.
- After a night-time medical check at IGIMS, Yadav was shifted to Patna Medical College and Hospital, where he remains under observation following his court appearance.
- The case stems from a 1995 Gardanibagh FIR alleging a house was fraudulently rented and used as an MP office, with charges under old IPC sections 419, 420, 468, 448, 506 and 120B.
- Police say they executed MP-MLA court orders, noting prior bail cancellation and property-attachment directions, and registered a separate case over obstruction by supporters.
- Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, called the arrest political vendetta linked to Yadav’s advocacy in a NEET aspirant’s death case, while NDA figures urged respect for due process.
