Bihar police have taken into custody suspended BJP MLA Prakash Paswan in connection with the Raurkela circuit house investigation, sources said.
Bihar police arrested Prakash Paswan, a suspended member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, on charges linked to the Raurkela circuit house case. The arrest was carried out early on Wednesday following a court order that authorized the detention of the politician.
According to officials, the investigation concerns alleged irregularities in the allocation and use of a government circuit house in Raurkela. Paswan, who was suspended from the party earlier this year, is accused of involvement in the purported misuse of the property.
The police have not disclosed further details about the evidence or the next steps in the legal process. Paswan's legal team is expected to file a petition challenging the arrest, while party spokespersons have refrained from commenting on the matter.
The case adds to a series of recent high‑profile arrests of political figures across the country, highlighting intensified scrutiny of alleged corruption in public assets.
