The Patna High Court on Monday granted bail to former RJD MP from Siwan Mohammed Shahabuddin in a murder case.
A bench headed by Justice KK Mandal granted bail to Shahabuddin after his counsel YV Giri contended that the former MP was not the named accused in the murder case rather he has only been charged with hatching conspiracy by the complainant in the case. Besides this, the main assailants have already been granted bail by the High Court whereas Shahabuddin has been languishing in jail since November 7, 2005, Giri submitted.
