Patna, Oct 24: After the withdrawal deadline for the second phase of nominations ended, a total of 70 candidates have taken back their nominations for the upcoming Bihar Assembly Election 2025, according to data released by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday.
The deadline ended at 5 p.m. on Thursday. For the second phase, nominations were filed for 122 Assembly seats across 18 districts.
A total of 1,761 candidates had submitted their nomination papers, out of which 389 nominations were rejected during scrutiny.
After scrutiny, 1,372 nominations were found valid. Following the withdrawal of 70 candidates, 1,302 candidates now remain in the fray for the second phase.
A district-wise analysis of withdrawals shows that the highest number came from Kishanganj, where 10 candidates withdrew their nominations.
In Araria, seven candidates pulled out, while West Champaran, East Champaran, Madhubani, Katihar, and Rohtas districts saw five withdrawals each.

The nomination process for the second phase began on October 13 and concluded on October 20, with voting scheduled for November 11.
The upcoming Assembly election in Bihar is shaping up to be a direct contest between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan).
While the NDA has already begun its campaign under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the Grand Alliance recently resolved internal disputes over seat-sharing and leadership.
Following intervention by senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot, the alliance announced Tejashwi Yadav as its Chief Ministerial candidate, and Mukesh Sahani of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) as one of the Deputy Chief Ministers if the alliance forms the government.
With both alliances finalising their strategies and leadership, Bihar is now set for an intense electoral battle in the coming weeks.

ISIS-inspired module busted in Delhi, two operatives trained in ‘fidayeen attack’ nabbed

New Delhi, Oct 24: In a major operation, the Delhi Police Special Cell busted an Islamic State (ISIS)-inspired terror module on Friday and nabbed two operatives who were allegedly planning to conduct an IED blast in the national capital.
The two suspected terrorists are understood to have undergone training for a ‘fidayeen (suicide) attack’ and were in advanced stages of conducting a terror strike in a crowded area of the city, reports said.
According to the police, one of the arrested operatives is Delhi-based, while another one hails from Madhya Pradesh. One of them was identified as Adnan.
The arrest was made during a joint and coordinated operation by the intelligence agencies and the Special Cell. The arrests were made in separate operations — one in Delhi’s Sadiq Nagar and the other in Bhopal.
A cache of arms and ammunition was also seized from their custody, police sources said.
A senior officer told a leading daily that the operation was conducted by a team led by Additional Commissioner Pramod Kushwaha and ACP Lalit Mohan Negi.
The busted terror module has been inspired by ISIS and is also believed to have the backing of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
Meanwhile, the intelligence and security agencies are further conducting operations to unravel the full extent of their plans and plots to unleash terror. The potential link of the busted module with global terror networks is also under investigation.
Further details are awaited, but the unravelling of a terror module in the city marks a big success for the security forces and relief for the general public.
