After criminal-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin was shifted from Siwan jail to another location in connection with the murder of journalist Rajdeo Ranjan in Bihar, his three associates were given the same treatment on Friday.
“Three associates of Shahabuddin have been shifted from Siwan jail to Motihari jail,” said a police official.
One of them is Upender Singh, who was arrested and interrogated in connection with the murder of Rajdeo Ranjan in Siwan last week.
Upender Singh is well known to be a sharpshooter of Shahabuddin, who has been serving a life sentence in connection with a murder case.
Shahabuddin was shifted from Siwan jail to Bhagalpur jail on Thursday.
The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have alleged that Shahabuddin had been pulling strings from his prison cell and had played a role in the killing of Rajdeo Ranjan. - IANS
