🚨 Ritlal Yadav’s Emotional Plea
In a dramatic turn, RJD MLA Ritlal Yadav, representing Danapur in Bihar, appealed in a Patna court:
“Huzoor, give me euthanasia… I am fed up with these endless cases.”

Visibly distressed, Yadav, currently lodged in Bhagalpur Central Jail, said he felt isolated and unable to fight mounting legal battles. He demanded not just compassion but also a transfer back to Beur Jail—claiming he was denied proper legal assistance and basic support in his current setting.
The Backdrop: A Gangster-Turned-Politician
Ritlal Yadav, once a local strongman with numerous criminal charges, successfully contested the Bihar Assembly polls from jail in 2020. With over 33 criminal cases, including serious allegations of extortion and murder, his rise in politics has been both sensational and controversial. He previously served as a Member of the Legislative Council and is closely associated with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav.

New Controversy: His Wife and a Construction Firm
Now, amidst this dramatic plea, another issue has surfaced: Rinku Kumari Yadav, Ritlal’s wife and a contractual government school teacher, is accused of violating service rules. She allegedly became a partner in “Vijay Construction” while serving as a teacher, barely compliant with Bihar’s Government Servant Code of Conduct.

Despite teaching at Kothwa Mushari Vidyalaya since 2006, it appears that Rinku has been operating this private business since November 2017, a clear breach of Bihar’s 1976 Conduct Rules and the updated 2024 regulations. A probe has been initiated by the education department following a letter from ADG Kundan Krishnan.

What This Exposes: A System in Strain
This saga highlights the emotional toll that high-stakes criminal litigation places on elected officials. It also raises serious governance questions:
-
How did a licensed teacher become a business partner without detection?
-
Why are enforcement agencies slow to act in cases involving political figures?
-
Is judicial and moral accountability still effective against powerful politicians?
Ritlal’s deeply personal plea and his wife’s alleged code breach together cast a harsh spotlight on political privilege and institutional failure.
Conclusion:
Ritlal Yadav’s courtroom breakdown is more than a melodramatic headline—it’s a symptom of systemic legal fatigue faced by high-profile politicians. Meanwhile, the Rinku Kumari controversy reminds us that public office comes with public scrutiny.
The real question remains: will the Bihar government act decisively or merely allow this spectacle to fade into the archives?
