Digital Desk, Bettiah (West Champaran). Pappu Yadav Arrest: Bihar politics has heated up regarding the arrest of Purnia MP Pappu Yadav. On this matter, former BJP state president and Bettiah MP Sanjay Jaiswal has given a sharp reaction in a philosophical manner.
He said that Pappu Yadav had a past that he used to run his criminal syndicate from the prisoner ward in the 1990s. Seeing him again in the prisoner ward after 35 years is proof that life is a circle.
After this statement of Sanjay Jaiswal, political rhetoric has intensified. BJP leaders say that this action has been taken within the ambit of law, while the opposition is calling it political vendetta.
Arrest on the night of February 6
It has been told that Pappu Yadav was arrested late night on 6 February 2026 from his residence in Mandiri, Patna. During this time a large police team was present on the spot. The arrest was made after hours of struggle amid protests from supporters.
The matter is related to 1995
The arrest is related to an old case of 1995, which is said to be of Gardanibagh police station area. This case pertains to fraud and forgery of documents. The MP-MLA court had issued a warrant against him for not appearing in the court despite repeated summons.
After the arrest, on the complaint of Pappu Yadav's ill health, he was first admitted to IGIMS and then to PMCH, where he is undergoing treatment under police surveillance. On Saturday, Patna Civil Court sent him to judicial custody for two days.
Meanwhile, Pappu Yadav and his supporters have termed the arrest as a political conspiracy and said that they were targeted because they raised their voice in the recent suspicious death of a medical student in Patna. A bail petition has been filed on his behalf in the High Court, the hearing on which is likely to be held on Monday.
On the other hand, many opposition leaders including Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have raised questions, terming this action as political vendetta.
