Former IPS Amitabh Das Detained: Tej Pratap Yadav Backs Police Action

• Former IPS officer Amitabh Das was taken into custody by Patna police on Friday evening (February 13, 2026) following an FIR related to social media posts and alleged comments on a sensitive matter.
• Tej Pratap Yadav, National President of Jan Shakti Janata Dal, justified the police action, accusing Amitabh Das of making baseless allegations and stating the action was 'late but robust'.
• Yadav highlighted an old dispute with Das, recalling a December 2025 complaint where Das was accused of tarnishing his image through objectionable statements on his 'News Nama' channel.
• The police are currently scrutinizing digital evidence, and the case is seen as highlighting the intersection of social media responsibility and legal boundaries.
• Tej Pratap Yadav has vowed to continue opposing what he considers baseless allegations.
