New Delhi : Controversial RJD leader Shahabuddin, brought to Delhi by train early Sunday morning, has been lodged in jail number 2 of Tihar prisons amid foolproof security.
A Bihar Police team brought Shahabuddin from Siwan jail on a Supreme Court order by Sampoorna Kranti Express which reached here around 8 am.
The team with Shahabuddin reached Tihar jail around 8.30 am where he was medically examined then shifted him to jail number 2 whose other notable inmates include gangster Chhota Rajan.
“Shahabuddin reached Tihar jail around 8.30 AM and he was medically examined by doctors at the prison hospital before being lodged in the jail number 2 for convicts,” Director General of Tihar jail Sudhir Yadav said.
Tight arrangements including CCTV camera monitoring and watch by Tamil Nadu Special Police Force personnel has been put in place to ensure uneventful stay of Shahabuddin in Tihar jail, officials said. The Supreme Court on February 15 ordered shifting of Mohammad Shahabuddin, now facing trial in 45 criminal cases, from Siwan Jail in Bihar to Tihar Jail here within a week.
