The Supreme Court will hear on Monday a plea by a Siwan resident seeking cancellation of bail granted to former RJD MP Mohamed Shahabuddin on the grounds that the strongman-turned-politician would misuse his liberty to derail the trial in the murder of his son Rajiv Roshan.
Meanwhile, the Bihar government too has moved the apex court challenging the grant of bail to Shahabuddin.
On Tuesday, wife of slain scribe Rajdev Ranjan had also moved apex court seeking transfer of the probe and trial in the murder case to Delhi from Siwan in Bihar, alleging that media reports have shown two absconding killers of her husband in the company of recently-released RJD leader Shahabuddin and Bihar Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav.
She has sought reliefs including a direction to CBI, to which probe has been transferred, to take up the probe forthwith in view of the fact that the proclaimed offenders, Mohd Kaif and Mohd Javed, were spotted with Shahabuddin and the Minister at a place where several cops were also present.
