On Sunday, senior police officers visited Tejashwi Yadav's residence following a complaint about the alleged disappearance of RJD MLA Chetan Anand. A video showing Chetan Anand playing cricket at Tejashwi's residence had surfaced, prompting the visit.

The BJP, with 78 seats, JDU with 45, and HAM with four, form the new Bihar government, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. An Independent MLA holds the remaining seat. The opposition, consisting of RJD and Congress, collectively holds 114 seats.

On January 28, Nitish Kumar took oath as Bihar's Chief Minister for the ninth time, expressing dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in the Grand Alliance. Sources suggested his discontent stemmed from a lack of clarity in the INDIA bloc's election preparations and being overlooked as a potential Prime Ministerial candidate.
