Mohammad Shahabuddin (born 10 May 1967) is a criminal turned politician. He was four times Member of Parliament from Siwan, Bihar, with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party of Lalu Prasad Yadav, and 2-time MLA in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly),Because of this conviction, he was not permitted to contest in the 2009 general election. .〔 〕 Md Shahabuddin was elected to four successive terms in the Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha) from 1996–2008. In the 2009 general election, the RJD party had put up his wife Hena Shahab from Siwan constituency in Bihar, but his long-time opponent, Om Prakash Yadav, defeated her by 63,000 votes (9%). In 2004, Shahabuddin's opponents were intimidated from campaigning even though he was in prison〔 BBC report from Siwan on the eve of elections 2004.〕 during the elections. Immediately after the election, which he won by a margin of 100,000 votes (16%), nine party workers of the nearest candidate, Om Prakash Yadav of Janata Dal (United), were found murdered, allegedly for daring to put up a credible fight. He has been winning Lok Sabha elections from Siwan since 1996, prior to which he was elected twice to the Bihar Legislative Assembly (1990 and 1995). Few opponents dare campaign publicly for fear; in addition, he is widely believed to have rigged many polling stations in the past. In May 2007, Shahabuddin was found guilty in a case of "kidnapping with intent to murder", and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. This may mean that he would be unable to stand for any subsequent elections. Shahabuddin holds a Master of Arts in Political Science, and a Ph.D., possibly from the B.R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur.〔 Parliament of India website (Profile of Dr. Mohammad Shahabuddin )〕 == Criminal career == Shahabuddin came into the political limelight while at college in the 1980s; he came to be known for his daredevil fighting and his opposition to the growing reach of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) and the Bharatiya Janata Party.〔 〕 The first criminal case against Shahabuddin was filed in 1986. Since then, Shahabuddin has accumulated an extensive criminal record, primarily in the Hussain Ganj police station at Siwan, where he is listed as a ''history sheeter type A'' (a hardened criminal with a history of crime). Type A is taken to indicate criminals who are beyond reform. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohammad Shahabuddin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
