Muzaffarpur: A local court today
summoned RJD chief Lalu Prasad, his wife and Leader of the
Opposition Rabri Devi, and LJP president Ramvilas Paswan in
connection with a complaint charging them with causing
destruction to public property during a state-wide bandh on
January six.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Ramesh Malviya took cognisance
of the complaint filed by advocate Sudhir Ojha who alleged
that widespread destruction was caused to the public property
in Muzaffarpur town and elsewhere during the shutdown called
by the leaders.
Ojha in his complaint filed on January 24 had also
alleged that RJD-LJP activists took law into their hands and
misbehaved with him while enforcing the call for bandh against
price rise.
The Magistrate asked Prasad, Rabri Devi, Paswan, besides
Muzaffarpur district RJD president Mithilesh Prasad Yadav and
his LJP counterpart Md Jamal to appear in person before the
court on July 24.
