Patna,(BiharTimes): The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM), Muzaffarpur, Ram Chandra Prasad on Friday ordered that an FIR be registered against singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya and jewellery designer Farah Ali Khan for their remarks against people sleeping on roads.

The two expressed their view after the conviction of actor Salman Khan in a 2002 hit-and-run case.The ACJM order came after hearing a complaint case filed by Sudhir Kumar Ojha, lawyer, who said he was hurt by the ‘derogatory’ remarks.

The court directed that an FIR be lodged against the two with Kazi Mohammadpur police station in Muzaffarpur under various offences, including provocation with intent to cause riots and promoting enimity between different groups.

The court instructed that an FIR be filed under IPC sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation).

This police station was chosen because the complainant had given the place of occurance as Chhattapur where he said he purchased newspapers and read about the disparaging remarks made by the two which prompted him to approach the court.
