Siwan: With the Supreme Court cancelling his bail in a murder case, controversial RJD leader Mohammad Shahabuddin was yesterday back in jail after 20 days and lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saying his supporters will “teach him a lesson”.
Hours after the apex court order, Shahabuddin, who had walked out of jail on September 10 amid much fanfare after 11 years of incarceration, came pillion on a motorcycle, with his face hid under a helmet, and surrendered in the court of First Class Judicial Magistrate Sandeep Kumar.
“My supporters will teach him (Kumar) a lesson in the next election,” Shahabuddin, who is considered close to RJD President Lalu Prasad, said amidst clapping by his supporters in the court premises, where he sat on a chair arranged by his aides.
“I stand by the truth I had said about him (a chief minister of the circumstances).... I do not have any problem about speaking the truth today,” said Shahabuddin before appearing in court. Patna High Court had granted him bail on September 7 in the 2014 murder case of Rajiv Roshan, a witness in the brutal killing of his two brothers by bathing them in acid in Siwan 10 years ago. Asked about the Supreme Court order cancelling his bail, Shahabuddin said he respects the judiciary.
