Amid Bihar's political turmoil, JDU MLA Sanjeev Singh, a member of CM Nitish Kumar's party, was detained by police ahead of the floor test scheduled for Monday (February 12) in the Bihar Assembly, according to PTI.
Reports indicate that Kumar was intercepted while crossing the Bihar-Jharkhand border on Monday morning via Jharkhand. He was subsequently taken to the forest rest house in Rajauli, where the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police were also present.
Outside the farmhouse, a significant uproar ensued as JD supporters protested Kumar's detention, alleging that he was targeted due to suspicions of voting against Nitish Kumar.
According to ABP News reports, Sanjeev Singh said that he was kept in the police station for two to 2.30 hours without the knowledge of the reason.
