The excise department filed the case against Dhullu Mahto on December 26, 2006 accusing him of snatching away his supporter Shahdeo Mahto from police custody when later was arrested in connection with illegal transaction of liquor.

The MLA had stopped the police vehicle and snatched away Shahdeo. A complaint was filed in Baghmara police station.
