Overview

• Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Partap Singh Laler withdrew the NBW two days after issuing it and restored Yadav’s bail surety.
• Yadav has been directed to appear in person or through counsel on October 17, the next date of hearing.
• The warrant was first issued after Yadav failed to appear in a Rohini kidnapping-extortion case despite repeated calls, with a notice initially sent to his surety under Section 491 of the BNSS.
• Yadav was arrested on December 18, 2023, following a complaint by a Delhi businessman, later chargesheeted, and is currently on bail after previously receiving exemptions citing a threat to his life.
• U.S. authorities have named Yadav as a conspirator in an alleged plot to kill Sikh activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, while co-accused Abdullah Khan received an extension of passport release until October 17 and Jalaluddin (alias Sameer) remains on bail.
