New Delhi: Focus of the national media shifted to Bihar last week after the release of former RJD parliamentarian and don Shahabuddin.
Apart from supporters, wanted sharpshooter Mohammad Kaif from Siwan too was spotted accompanying the leader after he walked out of prison.
In more embarrassment for the Nitish Kumar government, pictures of Kaif with State Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav went viral on social media.
The dreaded shooter is an accused in the murder of local journalist Rajdeo Ranjan.
Understandably, Lalu Prasad and his son faced a lot of heat from the media over this issue.
Cricketer Mohammad Kaif, who shares the same name as the Siwan shooter, too found himself in an awkward position thanks to a trigger-happy fan.
Never expected this from @MohammadKaif ..... May Bihar Lallo had not done Chara ghotala & used money to educate

The former India U-19 captain was quick to clear confusion with this reply.
