Ajit Sarkar was a CPI-M member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly from Purnia and Katihar who was active in farmer politics. He had a long history of animosity with Yadav. On 14 June 1998, he was gunned down at Subhash Nagar in Purnia, along with his driver and a party worker. In 1999, Yadav was arrested for the murder. The investigation was transferred from the Bihar police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who charged him and four others with conspiracy to murder.Yadav was jailed in Sikkim, but he used his political connections to turn Beur jail into his "fiefdom". There was considerable media attention on Yadav's conduct in Tihar jail, with the Indian Supreme Court investigating the alleged violation of prison rules. Yadav was accused by the CBI of making about 640 calls from his mobile phone, many of them to prominent people. In January 2005, the Supreme Court of India ordered that phone jammers be installed in the jails to prevent inmates from using mobile phones.
Yadav was also accused of re-entering Beur Jail after he was released on official bail, and holding a party for the inmates of the jail. The main warden was suspended when the news of the event came to light. Eventually, in 2004, Yadav was transferred to Tihar Jail in Delhi.
