Arrest Warrant Issued Against Mayor Naveen Kumar Yadav

March 10, Siraha – An arrest warrant has been issued against Siraha Municipality Chief Mayor Naveen Kumar Yadav. This action follows allegations of assault and abusive behavior against a municipal employee. On March 6, during attendance, Mayor Yadav reportedly verbally abused and physically assaulted 50-year-old office assistant Ramsharan Yadav with kicks and punches.

Following the incident, the victim filed a complaint with the police naming Mayor Yadav as the accused. The incident has also caused significant unrest among municipal employees, disrupting all municipal operations.

Based on the complaint, the District Police Office of Siraha registered a case of abusive behavior on Thursday and petitioned the District Court to issue an arrest warrant.

Police reported that Mayor Yadav is currently out of contact and remains at large. “He is not here; we are searching for him,” said SP Pathak.

Following the incident, the agitated municipal employees have been staging a sit-in at the office since the same day, causing a complete halt in municipal services. The protesting employees have demanded free medical treatment for the victim, appropriate compensation, strict legal action against the mayor, and the establishment of a safe and respectful work environment for all staff.
