Meanwhile, Yadav said that he had been helping families for the last 1.5 months amid the raging pandemic.
"They will tell you why have I been arrested. I have helped every family for the last 1.5 months. I was at it despite coming out of an operation," he said.
He added, "The government and (Chief Minister) Nitish babu will know what this is. An arrest doesn't take place for violation of lockdown."
After his arrest, he took to Twitter to hit out at the government saying, "Arrest in the name of lockdown violation. The government has killed itself with an axe on its foot. If people wake up, (Prime Minister) Modi-Nitish, this will hit you heavily."
