Mahto, after getting the ticket from the ruling JD(U) from Warsaliganj, presented himself before the court of chief judicial magistrate Sunil Kumar Singh and presented the relevant papers, including those relating to bail granted to him by the PHC.

While three out of seven escapees from the Nawada jail were killed in an encounter with a raiding team of Kowakol police station of the district, four others were later arrested by the district police, officials sources said.
