Gopalganj (Bihar): Police have issued an arrest warrant against Sadhu Yadav, the brother-in-law of Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, in connection with the case of alleged assault of a candidate for the post of chief of a block development committee in the district.
Gopalganj District Magistrate Murlidhar Rai said that efforts were on to track down Yadav and his police commandos for the assault on Dinesh Sah, a candidate for the post of Phulwaria block development committee chief.
The District Magistrate had issued an order barring Yadav, Lok Sabha member from Gopalganj, from entering the district after the incident and postponed the election for a future date.
The state administration had also ordered the withdrawal of the commandos providing security to Yadav, who along with his security staff, was said to be absconding.
Yadav had allegedly assaulted Dinesh Sah in full public view after the latter refused to obey his diktat to withdraw from the fray in favour of Lalu's sister-in-law (wife of his elder brother Gula Rai), Kunti Devi, also an aspirant for the post of Phulwaria block development committee chief.
The district magistrate said the victim had registered an FIR against Yadav and his security guards last night after which the arrest warrant was issued.
