Danapur (Bihar) [India], April 17 (ANI): RJD MLA from Danapur, Ritlal Yadav, surrendered before the court in Bihar’s Danapur on Thursday. His associates, including Chikku Yadav, Pinku Yadav, Shravan Yadav, and others, have also surrendered.
A complaint was filed against Ritlal Yadav and his associates, accusing them of forging documents, extortion, and issuing death threats.
On April 11, police searched 11 locations related to Yadav and recovered around Rs 10.5 lakh, blank cheques worth Rs 77.5 lakh, 14 deeds and agreements indicating land grabbing, 17 chequebooks, five stamps, six pen drives, and walkie-talkies.
His counsel, Advocate Safdar Hayat, stated, “It is being said that some builder falsely accused him of extortion. The police wanted him in the case. As soon as he learned that the police were looking for him, he surrendered before the court voluntarily, along with others who were accused. A bail plea has not been filed yet, but we may file it in a day or two. This is a false case. This cannot be an extortion case. MLA Ritlal Yadav, Pinku Yadav, Chikku, and Shravan have surrendered today.”
Advocate Ashok Kumar Singh added, “A case with false allegations of extortion was registered. He (RJD MLA Ritlal Yadav) has surrendered in the same case. Four people have surrendered… This is a false case to malign his image. He has been accused of extortion, and he has surrendered today. A bail plea will be filed.”
Earlier, on December 19 of the previous year, Bihar Police raided the residence of Pinku Yadav, the brother of RJD MLA Ritlal Yadav from Danapur. The raid, led by Danapur Assistant Superintendent of Police Bhanu Pratap Singh, was conducted as part of the investigation into the attempted murder of Patna AIIMS Chief Security Officer (CSO) Premnath Rai on August 22, 2024.
During the raid, police allegedly recovered Rs 11 lakh in cash, three illegal firearms, a note-counting machine, land-related documents, and other financial papers. The recovery has raised several questions about the source of the money and the nature of the documents found.
