Bachcha Rai, then principal of VR College in Vaishali, was named the mastermind. The Enforcement Directorate seized crores of cash and land from him, linking him to money laundering and illegal construction. After spending time in jail, he secured bail.

Now, Bachcha Rai has joined Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM and declared himself as a candidate from Mahua in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Mahua has turned into a hot seat, with RJD’s Mukesh Roshan facing challenges from Tej Pratap Yadav and now Bachcha Rai.

The big question is whether AIMIM will back a candidate with such a tainted record. Bachcha Rai’s comeback in Bihar politics shows how controversial figures still find space in the political arena. His entry will surely heat up Mahua’s election battle.
