RJD candidate Satendra Sah was arrested immediately after filing his nomination papers from Bihar's Sasaram Assembly seat on Monday (October 20, 2025), officials said.
Officers of the police station concerned maintained that Mr. Sah was arrested by Jharkhand Police as a non-bailable warrant (NBW) was pending against him. His supporters were clueless about the developments.
"As Sah reached the office of the circle officer concerned to file his nomination papers from Sasaram seat, Jharkhand Police officers arrived there to execute a NBW which was pending against him," a senior officer of Rohtas district said on condition of anonymity.
"He was allowed to file his nomination papers... But soon after, he was arrested. We are not aware about the nature of the case in which the NBW was issued
