Bihar journo death: Police suspects ex-RJD lawmaker Shahabuddin's link
Siwan, May 15 (IBNS): Two days after the killing of a 45-year-old journalist in Bihar's Siwan district, the police are yet to make any arrest in the case and are suspecting former RJD lawmaker Mohd Shahabuddin's link, media reports said on Sunday.
According to police, links are now surfacing that relate the murder to close associates of Shahabuddin, who happened to be one of Bihar's most notorious gangsters.
Shahabuddin is currently lodged in the Siwan Jail and has been convicted for crimes like murder and kidnapping.
This comes after senior journalist Rajdev Ranjan was shot dead by miscreants in Bihar's Siwan district on Friday.
He was the bureau chief of the Hindi daily Hindustan.
He was shot dead close to Siwan's railway station.
According to reports, the journalist was declared brought dead when he was taken to a hospital.
