Shekhar Krishna Yadav, a 32-year-old truck driver from Kharoda village in Banka district, Bihar, was arrested by Ahmedabad Rural Police for allegedly issuing a death threat to Samrat Choudhary, who was set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar. The threat was made on April 14, just hours after Choudhary was announced as the new CM following the resignation of Nitish Kumar. Yadav reportedly called a close aide of Choudhary, threatening to shoot him and challenging officials to protect him. An FIR was filed at Sangrampur police station in Munger, Bihar, prompting an investigation. The Bihar Police tracked Yadav's phone to Ahmedabad, where he was found transporting goods. His attempts to evade capture by switching off his phone complicated the tracking process, but the Sanand Police successfully located him using Call Data Records, leading to his arrest.
