The court rejected the petition filed against 12 actors and producers, including Salman Khan, in connection with the suicide of Bollywood actor Shashant Singh Rajput.
Sudhir Ojha, a lawyer in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district, blamed Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar, Dinesh Vision, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aditya Chopra for the suicide of Shant Singh Rajput. He had requested action against them.
In a hearing held on Thursday, the Muzaffarpur court, while delivering a safe verdict, said that the matter did not fall under its jurisdiction and therefore the petition was dismissed. It may be recalled that at the last hearing, Salman Khan's lawyer had also appeared in the court in this case but the court had stopped him from giving arguments saying that the matter has not been taken up yet.
