“As Shahabuddin has got bail from different courts in all other criminal cases pending against him, he can now walk out of the jail after completing certain formalities,” The Times of India quoted his counsel YV Giri as saying. He had been facing around 35 cases, but has been granted bail on most charges for want of evidence, Hindustan Times reported. After coming out of jail, Shahabuddin said that he was framed, reported ANI.

Raushan was a 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 16 August, 2004. He was shot on 16 June, 2014, when Shahabuddin was in jail. He was granted bail in March 2016. Shahabuddin said that his release had nothing to do with politics and that the judiciary had its own procedures.
