New Delhi, Feb 14 (NationPress) The Independent Member of Parliament from Purnea, Rajesh Ranjan, known as Pappu Yadav, expressed his gratitude to supporters for their unwavering support during his incarceration. He urged the people of Bihar to unite in their pursuit of justice while launching a pointed critique of the state government regarding its law and order issues.
In an interview with IANS regarding the campaign that rallied support for him, Pappu Yadav remarked, "...I am grateful to everyone. My profound thanks go out to those on social media, the press, and the print media. I appreciate the people of Bihar. I urge them to step forward for the sake of their daughters and justice. The character of our leaders is fundamentally flawed..."
The Independent MP from Purnea received a significant legal reprieve when the Patna MP-MLA court granted him bail in three ongoing cases.
This judicial decision has allowed him to secure bail in all charges against him, ensuring his potential release from Beur Jail at any moment.
The news led to jubilant celebrations among Pappu Yadav's supporters.
Pappu Yadav was apprehended on February 6 from his residence in Mandiri, Patna, linked to a 31-year-old case filed at the Gardanibagh police station.
In response to his arrest, supporters of the Purnea MP protested, resulting in a verbal conflict with police officials, which led to additional charges against him.
Post-arrest, Pappu Yadav's health reportedly declined.
Initially, he was taken to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) and later referred to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH).
Based on medical assessments, he was subsequently moved to Beur Jail.
On February 10, the court granted him bail in the 31-year-old Gardanibagh case.
Previously, on Friday, Pappu Yadav launched a fierce attack on the Bihar government, asserting that the state's claims of effective governance are merely superficial.
He stated that criminals have become increasingly audacious while the police and administration have failed to safeguard ordinary citizens.
Criticizing the Bihar government over recent criminal occurrences, Pappu Yadav raised concerns about the handling of the Gopal Khemka murder case, suggesting that powerful criminals are being protected and that the investigation is intentionally being obstructed to shield those truly responsible.
