Bihar RJD MLA sent to 14-day judicial custody in extortion case, alleges conspiracy to murder him

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA Ritlal Yadav was sent to 14 days of judicial custody by a court in Bihar's Patna on Thursday. This comes hours after he, along with his three close aides, surrendered in the Danapur court in connection with an extortion case. A large number of Yadav's supporters had also gathered outside the court after his surrender. Speaking to the media outside the courtroom, Yadav made serious allegations, claiming that there is a conspiracy to eliminate him. "There is a plot to murder me. My rivals have been provided with an AK-47 to carry out the killing. This is all part of a conspiracy to trap me, especially with elections around the corner," he said.
