Accompanied by his lawyers, Yadav, brother-in-law of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, surrendered before the court of Judicial Magistrate Rajiv Ranjan who granted him bail after he furnished a bail bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties of like amount.
Yadav has been charged with obstructing official work and abusing and misbehaving with state Transport Secretary N K Sinha to pressurise him to concede his case for transfer of an employee, Sitaram Paswan, on January 29, 2001.
The court had issued the non-bailable warrant against Yadav, who is currently in Congress, following his successive failures to appear before it in the past.
