SC sends notice to Lalu's son Tej Pratap, asks to explain photograph with alleged shooter
The top court sent a separate notice also to Mohammad Shahabuddin, a former RJD lawmaker, who is also seen in the photo.
The journalist Rajdeo Ranjan's wife moved the Supreme Court, seeking that the trial in her husband's murder case be shifted to Delhi as she fears for her family's life.
The Supreme Court ordered the police in Bihar's Siwan, where Ranjan's wife lives, to provide protection to the journalist's family.
The court also sought a status report from the CBI, which was asked to probe the case earlier this month.
Mohammad Kaif, the alleged shooter, surrendered to the Bihar police this week.
Tej Pratap has brushed aside the allegations of his links with Mohammad Kaif, saying it is a "BJP conspiracy."
