Mohammad Kaif, the alleged sharpshooter of controversial RJD leader Mohammad Shahabuddin, surrendered in a district court in Siwan, Bihar on Wednesday after evading arrest in the case of journalist Rajdeo Ranjan’s murder.
Kaif alias Bunty gave himself up before Chief Judicial Magistrate Arvind Kumar Singh and was sent to jail, Superintendent of Police Saurav Kumar Sah said.
Though policemen were present in the court premises, the accused dodged them and appeared in the CJM court which sent him to nine days judicial custody.
Kaif was evading the police dragnet in the murder of journalist Rajdeo Ranjan in May last. He was a suspect along with Mohammad Javed in the case.
However, he was seen in a photograph with Shahabuddin following the latter’s release from Bhagalpur jail on September 10.
