Bank robbery accused Satyendra Sah arrested

According to Jharkhand Police, Satyendra Sah is an accused in the bank robbery that took place at Chironjiya turn in Garhwa district in 2004. Garhwa Sadar police station in-charge Sunil Tiwari said that a permanent warrant was issued against him in this case in 2018.

Elections to be held in two phases in Bihar

Elections for the 243-member Bihar Assembly are to be held in two phases – the first phase on November 6 and the second phase on November 11, while the counting of votes will take place on November 14. In the election environment, the arrest of a candidate on the day of nomination has increased the political temperature.

This case is the third case of arrest of candidates of ‘India’ alliance. Earlier, two candidates of CPI(ML) Liberation, Jitendra Paswan from Bhore and Satyadev Ram from Darauli were also arrested soon after nomination.

Alleged conspiracy to influence the electoral process

The opposition has targeted the ruling coalition regarding these continuous arrests. CPI (ML) Liberation said in its statement that we strongly condemn the politically motivated arrests of Comrade Jitendra Paswan and Comrade Satyadev Ram. He was arrested on false charges outside the nomination centre, which shows that NDA leaders are afraid of the growing public anger and demand for change.

Both RJD and CPI (ML) parties have called it a conspiracy to influence the electoral process, while the administration says that the action has been taken completely as per the legal process. At present, the arrest of Satyendra Sah has brought Sasaram seat into the limelight of Bihar elections.
