The court was hearing a case filed by a city advocate, Sudhir Kumar Ojha, in this regard. The court of Chief Judicial Magistrate asked the Sadar police station officer-in-charge, through the district superintendent of police, to immediately file an FIR against the West Bengal Chief Minister and submit the chargesheet to the court. Muzaffarpur SP Sudhanshu Kumar said the police would comply with the court order soon.
The complainant said he had filed a complaint in the CJM court on December 10 after Bhattacharjee had said Ram Sethu was “non-existent” and that Lord Rama was “a figment of poets’ imagination.”
On December 10, the court had directed Sadar police station to submit a report on the matter, which the latter submitted on April 24, 2008.
