Village pradhan seeks reconsideration of FIR against Bachchan

Barabanki: The Gram Pradhan of Daulatpur Raj Kumari today moved a local court asking it to reconsider her application seeking an FIR against Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and others for not fulfilling his promise of setting up a college in the village.

The court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate had turned down her plea last month due to lack of evidence. Raj Kumari`s counsel Ranbir Singh moved the sessions court for reconsidering the application in this connection and the court set July 6 as the date for hearing the matter. Raj Kumari had on May 26 moved the ACJM court here seeking its direction to the police to lodge an FIR against Bachchan and seven others for not fulfilling his promise of setting up a college in the name of his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the village. The court had directed the concerned Mohamadpur Khala police to enquire into the matter and submit its report which had found the allegations levelled by Raj Kumari as baseless. The ACJM court had on June 11 rejected the application. PTI
