RJD Candidate Arrested in Bihar Immediately After Filing Nomination

In a dramatic turn of events during the Bihar assembly polls, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) candidate Satendra Sah was arrested just moments after filing his nomination papers for the Sasaram seat. He was apprehended by Jharkhand Police based on a non-bailable warrant pending in a 2004 bank robbery case. This is the third such incident involving a candidate from the opposition INDIA bloc being arrested post-nomination, prompting allegations from partner parties of political intimidation and misuse of state machinery.
