Independent Member of Parliament Pappu Yadav was admitted to a hospital in Patna after his health reportedly worsened soon after his arrest by police in a decades-old case. The incident has drawn attention from political and legal observers across the state.

Yadav, the MP from Purnea, was arrested late on Friday night from his residence in Patna in connection with a 31-year-old property dispute case that dates to the mid-1990s. After being taken into custody, his condition reportedly deteriorated, prompting medical attention. He was initially admitted to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) on Friday night. On Saturday morning, due to concerns over his health, he was shifted to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) under police supervision for further tests and treatment.

Hospital officials confirmed that medical examinations, including ultrasounds and cardiac tests, were being conducted to assess his condition. Preliminary reports indicate that key cardiac indicators such as ECG have not shown serious abnormalities.

The arrest and subsequent

hospitalisation have also become a focal point of political debate. Senior opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, criticised the Bihar government and described the arrest as politically motivated and retaliatory, linking it to Yadav’s recent activism on public issues such as justice for a NEET aspirant’s death.

Yadav was produced before a court on Saturday, which ordered his remand to judicial custody. Further legal proceedings, including a bail hearing, are expected in the coming days.
