Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav defended party’s strongman Mohammad Shahabuddin saying the controversy over the latter getting bail was a creation of Bharatiya Janata Party and media, and only courts can decide such things, reports CNN News18.

Coalition is intact and there is no difference with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over Shahabuddin. Why is media so much interested in it and who is media to decide such things? Why is everyone questioning the court?
Lalu Prasad Yadav, RJD chief

With Bihar’s law and order situation being hotly debated in the wake of gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin being released on bail, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said law “never fails” due to incidents of crime and appropriate action is taken against criminals.

Shahabuddin’s release from jail was celebrated with much fanfare and has triggered a debate about the law and order situation in the state.
