New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday cancelled the bail of former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Pappu Yadav, who has been sentenced to life for the murder of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) legislator Ajit Sarkar.
Pappu Yadav, whose original name is Rajesh Ranjan, a former Lok Sabha member from Madhepura in Bihar, was granted bail by the Patna High Court in February 2009.
Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge B M Srivastava had February 14, 2008, pronounced Pappu Yadav, former independent legislator Rajan Tiwari and another accused Anil Yadav guilty and awarded them life term.
Sarkar, a firebrand CPI-M legislator, who had a running feud with Pappu Yadav, was gunned down in Purnia town on June 14, 1998. The trial started in 2002.
