An FIR has been registered against former Bihar minister and Janshakti Janata Dal national president Tej Pratap Yadav at Patliputra police station in Patna on the directions of a court, adding a fresh legal dimension to an already high-profile personal controversy. The complaint was filed by Akash Yadav, former state president of the Chhatra Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and brother of Anushka Yadav, who has been publicly linked to Tej Pratap Yadav.
What the FIR Alleges
According to the complaint, the alleged incident occurred on 6 June, when Tej Pratap Yadav and his associate Motilal Yadav reportedly visited Akash Yadav's residence in the Patliputra area of Patna while the complainant was away on a pilgrimage to Khatu Shyam. The FIR alleges that the two men attempted to enter the house forcibly and threatened family members who were present at the time.
Akash Yadav has further alleged that he subsequently received phone calls from Motilal Yadav and another individual who allegedly identified himself as a member of a criminal gang. According to the complaint, the caller warned him against speaking publicly against the former minister.
Death Threats and Audio Evidence
ASP (Law and Order) Divyanjali Jaiswal confirmed that the complainant has alleged receiving death threats and has submitted an audio recording as evidence. Investigators say the threats were allegedly made through a phone call originating from a US-based number. Police have stated that all aspects of the complaint, including the authenticity of the calls and recordings, are being verified before any further action is decided.
Tej Pratap Yadav Denies All Charges
Tej Pratap Yadav strongly denied the allegations, describing the FIR as politically motivated and entirely fabricated. In a detailed statement posted on his official X handle, he asserted that the complaint was driven by personal vendetta, filed after legal notices had allegedly been issued regarding the complainant's conduct. He accused his detractors of misusing legal processes to spread falsehoods and engage in character assassination.
Tej Pratap stated that he has always respected democratic values, the rule of law, and constitutional institutions, and expressed complete faith in the judiciary. He indicated that he would pursue all available legal remedies against those he believes are attempting to damage his reputation and political standing.
Investigation and What Comes Next
Police officials have confirmed that the FIR has been formally registered and that the evidence submitted — including audio recordings and call records — is under examination. The case has drawn significant political attention in Bihar given the stature of the individuals involved. This comes amid an already charged political climate in the state, and further developments are expected as investigators complete their preliminary verification.
Point of View
Whose public profile has already been shaped by personal controversies as much as politics. The involvement of a US-based phone number and a self-identified gang member in the alleged threats — if verified — would significantly escalate the legal stakes beyond a routine property dispute. What is notable is the court-directed nature of the registration, suggesting the complainant faced resistance before police action was taken. Bihar's political ecosystem has a long history of FIRs deployed as instruments of pressure by rival factions, which makes independent verification of the audio evidence the single most consequential step in this investigation.
