Former RJD MP Mohammad Shahabuddin and three other accused were today sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the 2004 Siwan abduction and murder case. The special court in Patna pronounced its quantum of punishment in connection with the murder case of two brothers 11 years ago in Siwan district of Bihar.
Earlier on Tuesday, the court found Md Shahbuddin, Rajkumar Sah, Sheikh Aslam and Arif Hussain guilty of charges under various sections including murder of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the prosecution, three sons of one Chandrashekhar Prasad were abducted from their house at Goshala road by Rajkumar Sah, Sheikh Aslam and Arif Hussain on August 16, 2004 and taken to Pratappur village where acid was poured on Girish and Satish resulting in their death.
One of the sons, Rajeev Raushan, managed to escape. The bodies of the two brothers could not be recovered. The victims’ mother Kalawati Devi had lodged an FIR charging Shahabuddin’s three henchmen with the murder of her sons.
