Pappu Yadav receives bail in a 1995 forgery case but remains in custody for obstructing police work, his lawyer confirms.
The MP/MLA court in Patna on Tuesday (February 10, 2026) granted bail to independent MP Pappu Yadav in a three-decade-old forgery case.
Mr. Yadav was arrested on Friday (February 6, 2026) evening at his residence by Patna Police after a warrant was issued against him by the court in connection with a 1995 case lodged under Section 467 (forgery of documents) of the IPC. He was admitted to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) due to illness the next morning.
Advocate Shivnandan Bharti, who appeared for the MP, told reporters: "Pappu Yadav has been granted bail in the 1995 case. However, he will remain in custody, as another case was filed on the same day at the Buddha Colony police station for allegedly obstructing police work."
He claimed that the police "conspired" to file a case accusing him of obstructing their work while he had "offered himself for arrest after seeing the warrant".
The advocate said that the MP himself raised certain questions before the court during the hearing.
An ACJM court on Saturday (February 7, 2026) ordered that Pappu Yadav be kept at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) under judicial custody for two days before the hearing for bail application, originally scheduled for Monday (February 9, 2026).
