The court, however, allowed him to apply for temporary bail from the MP MLA court. Earlier, Reetlal Yadav had filed his nomination under police protection. He was taken from Bhagalpur jail to Danapur to submit his papers and then sent back.

His lawyer, Yogesh Chandra Verma, asked for four weeks’ bail for campaigning. The state’s lawyer, P.K. Shahi, said the plea was invalid and must go to a lower court.

The Patna High Court Reetlal Yadav campaign ban limits his movement, but RJD continues to support him in Danapur.

The police acted on reports that Reetlal Yadav’s supporters were threatening and bribing locals to secure votes for the RJD. Houses of his relatives, including Shravan, Chiku, and Mantu, were searched, but all accused were missing. The raids were part of an election-related inquiry by Khagaul police.

Reetlal’s wife, Rinku Devi, criticized the government, accusing it of harassment and political vendetta. She claimed authorities wanted to weaken her husband’s campaign and demoralize his supporters. Despite the controversy, RJD has retained Reetlal Yadav as its candidate for Danapur, showing strong political backing within the party.

Following Patna High Court orders, Reetlal Yadav, Shravan Yadav, Sunil Yadav, and Ranjan Kumar surrendered before the special court. They submitted their bail bonds, and Judge Dhananjay Kumar Mishra granted them regular bail.

Reetlal Yadav will still stay in jail due to another case. The next hearing in the Satyanarayan Sinha murder case is on October 30.

Earlier, a special court had cleared Yadav of charges. But BJP leader Asha Sinha, wife of Satyanarayan Sinha, appealed against that verdict in the High Court. The High Court then reversed the acquittal and ordered all accused to surrender within two weeks.

In 2023, a special MP-MLA court had acquitted Yadav and others due to lack of evidence. However, Asha Sinha, wife of slain BJP leader Satyanarayan Sinha, challenged the order in the High Court. Earlier this year, notices were issued to all accused, and now the acquittal has been struck down.

The case began after Satyanarayan Sinha was shot dead near Jamaluddin Chak in Khagaul on April 30, 2003, the same day the RJD held a massive rally at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan. Yadav was charged along with several others.

With the Patna High Court’s latest order, the case will once again be heard in detail, keeping the political spotlight firmly on Bihar.
