BIG BREAK IN PATNA: Independent MP from Purnea, Pappu Yadav, has finally secured bail across all pending cases, the Patna MP-MLA Court ruled on Friday. This development clears the path for his immediate release from Beur Central Jail, ending weeks of uncertainty.
The news triggered waves of celebration among his loyalists, who have stood by him through thick and thin. Recall that Yadav’s dramatic arrest unfolded on February 6 at his Patna home, linked to a dusty 31-year-old FIR at Gardanibagh station. Chaos ensued as supporters clashed with police, resulting in an additional charge.
Health woes followed swiftly. Yadav fell ill post-arrest, receiving treatment at IGIMS before transfer to PMCH. Medical clearance sent him to Beur Jail, where he awaited trial outcomes.
Bail came first in the ancient Gardanibagh matter on February 10. Presented in court via wheelchair, prior bail in one case stood, but three more loomed: Kotwali’s 2016-17 filing, case 113/19 from the same station, and Buddha Colony’s 72/26 alleging interference in official duties amid protests.
Hearings stumbled over bomb scares disrupting Patna courts and a tragic lawyer’s demise on Thursday, despite heavy security for Yadav’s appearance. Friday’s session proved decisive, with the judge greenlighting bail in the trio of cases after thorough arguments.
As legal clouds lift, Pappu Yadav’s political comeback appears on the horizon. This verdict not only frees a prominent figure but underscores the resilience of his support base amid prolonged judicial scrutiny.
