RJD MLA Ritlal Yadav Surrenders Before Danapur Court in Extortion Case

RJD MLA Ritlal Yadav surrendered in the Danapur court on Wednesday in connection with an extortion case. The police had filed a case against him for allegedly threatening a businessman and demanding money. After receiving a legal notice, Yadav appeared before the court and gave himself up to the authorities.

The case dates back to a complaint filed earlier this year. According to the complaint, Ritlal Yadav and his associates tried to collect money from a local contractor. The contractor informed the police and shared the details of the threats and demands. Based on this, the police began an investigation and registered a case under charges of extortion and criminal intimidation.

When the court summoned him, Ritlal Yadav responded by surrendering. His lawyers represented him in court and requested bail. The court listened to the arguments from both the defense and the prosecution. After the hearing, the court sent Ritlal Yadav to judicial custody. The court will decide on his bail application in the next hearing.

Ritlal Yadav has a history of criminal cases against him. In the past, police booked him in several cases, including charges of murder, extortion, and rioting. Despite his criminal background, he won the 2020 Bihar Assembly election from Danapur on a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) ticket. His political journey has often sparked debate due to his controversial past.

The RJD has not issued an official statement about his surrender yet. However, sources within the party said they are closely watching the legal process. Opposition parties have criticized the RJD for supporting candidates with criminal records.

This case has again raised questions about the presence of criminal elements in politics. Many people believe political parties should avoid giving tickets to candidates with serious criminal charges.

As the legal proceedings continue, all eyes are on the court’s next decision regarding Ritlal Yadav’s bail and the future of the case.
