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 last year after Buddhadeb had said Ram Sethu was “non-existent” and that Lord Rama “a figment of poets’ imagination”.

The court, after hearing the case on December 10, directed the Sadar police station to submit a report on the matter.
