He said a case for obstructing a public servant in performing his duty and issuing threats has been registered with the town police station against Shahabuddin.
Jail sources said that when Sinha approached the MP, who is suffering from a spinal problem, to take him in a wheel chair before the court, Shahabuddin refused to go. He demanded that a stretcher be brought.

By the time second stretcher arrived,the court had risen for the day.
A special building has been designated as court in the divisional jail premises for the last three days to start trial proceedings against Shahabuddin in connection with six of the 40 cases against him, including that of sedition.
The cases relate to seizure of firearms, ammunition with Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings and attempt on the life of former CPI(ML) MLA from Mairwa Satyadev Ram.
Shahabuddin was transferred from Bhagalpur Central Jail to Siwan on May 8.
