Event Summary

Independent India===Bihar MP Rajesh Ranjan (politician), also known as Pappu Yadav, was arrested by India===Patna Police late Friday night from his Mandiri residence in connection with a 1995 forgery case. The arrest followed a tense standoff at his home after police arrived to execute a warrant issued by an MP/MLA court. Rajesh Ranjan (politician) initially refused to go, arguing the document was for property attachment, not arrest. He was later taken into custody and is scheduled to be produced before a competent court. Rajesh Ranjan (politician) alleged the action was politically motivated due to his criticism of the India===Bihar government and claimed police acted improperly. The case stems from a complaint by Vinod Bihari Lal, who alleged his house was fraudulently rented and used as an MP's office.
