Patna: Siwan strongman and former RJD MP Mohammad Shahabuddin on Saturday walked out of Bhagalpur central jail after 11 years, as Patna high court has granted him bail in the much-publicised Rajiv Raushan murder case.
"Everyone knows I was framed. It was court who jailed me. now court has released me. No one should take Sushil Modi seriously. This has got nothing to do with politics, judicial has its own procedures," Shahbuddin said.
He said he has never done back door politics.
"I am going to my village after 13 years. Why would I try to change my image? People have accepted me the way I am for 26 years. I haven't met with anyone for the last ten years," he added.
The former MP was in jail since November 2005 after he was rounded-off from his residence in New Delhi by a joint team of Siwan Police and Delhi Police.
Rajiv was prime witness in the case of brutal murder of his two brothers- Girish Raj and Satish Raj- at Shahabuddin's native village in Siwan district on August 16, 2004.
