Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from Bihar, was arrested by Patna Police on Friday (February 6, 2026) in connection with a 1995 case of forgery. The arrest followed a warrant issued by an MP/MLA court and occurred at his residence in Patna. Yadav, who had initially refused to surrender, was taken into custody and will be produced before a court on Saturday (February 7, 2026). He claims the police are targeting him for raising concerns about the state government's handling of issues such as the recent death of a NEET aspirant and alleged sex trafficking in hostels.
