New Delhi:

RJD strongman Mohammad Shahabuddin has been shifted to Siwan jail to Patna amid tight security in the wee hours of Saturday morning. He will be transferred to the high-security Tihar Jail in New Delhi after the order by Apex court.

The criminal-turned-politician was escorted out Siwan jail around 2:40 a.m., flanked by security personnel and police. However, the supporters of Shahabuddin got wind of the developments and gathered outside the jail from midnight onwards to get a glimpse of their leader.

Carrying on with their operations, the Siwan administration escorted Shahabuddin to a white Tata Sumo, where he was lodged between two armed security officials.
