ED Interrogates Former MLA Pappu Yadav in Sahibganj Illegal Mining Case; Conducts Raids at 12 Locations

Former MLA Pappu Yadav arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office as scheduled on Tuesday, complying with the appointed time given by the agency. Upon registering his entry, Yadav proceeded directly to the ED office, where after completing requisite formalities, the interrogation process began.

Speculations have arisen regarding former MLA Pappu Yadav’s scrutiny by the agency due to his alleged business connections with Sahibganj DC Ramniwas Yadav. The ED had summoned Rajkishore Yadav, alias Pappu Yadav, the former MLA from Bihar’s Katoria region, summoning him for questioning at 11 am on January 9.
