"The case has been filed under sections 504 and 120B of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 at Chief Judicial Magistrate Kanhaiya Ram's court by a local dalit leader Lalan Ram," a court official said.
"In the case, Yadav, Tyagi and Kumar have been accused of conspiring to remove Manjhi and using abusive, as well as, unrestrained language against him with an intention to insult him with intent to provoke breach of peace in the society," the official added.
As far as Yadav is concerned, this is second such case against him. Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) state general secretary Vishnu Paswan had lodged an FIR at Airport police station in the state capital on January 19 for his alleged casteist remarks against Manjhi, which "hurt" the sentiments of dalits and people of Musahar caste.
