Pappu Yadav, a Lok Sabha from Madhepura in Bihar, was on Monday sworn in by Speaker Somnath Chatterjee.

An accused in the murder of Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Ajit Sarkar, Yadav took the oath in Hindi.

Speaking during the Zero Hour, he charged the media with hounding him

and his family.

Yadav was elected in a bypoll in October last year on a Rashtriya Janata Dal ticket after Railway Minister Lalu Prasad vacated the seat.

He was shifted from Beur Jail in Patna to Tihar Jail in Delhi following an apex court order.
