One more Dalit suit against Krishna Murthy:
[India News]: Patna, Dec 24 : Chief Election Commissioner T.S. Krishna Murthy is
the focus of another petition in a Bihar court for "humiliating" the community,
just two days after a similar complaint was dismissed.
This time, the petition has been filed by Upendra Paswan, a Dalit from Darbhanga
district, in the court of the chief judicial magistrate. <b>He has alleged that
Krishna Murthy humiliated Dalits when he ordered a police complaint against
Railway Minister Lalu Prasad for giving some women money to eat "sweets".</b> <!--emo&:omg--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/omg.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='omg.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Besides Krishna Murthy, the case under the Dalit Atrocities Prevention Act, also
names Bihar's chief electoral officer K.C. Saha, BJP parliamentarian Sushil Modi
and the officer in charge of the police station in Bihta where the first
information report (FIR) was filed against Lalu Prasad.
Earlier this week, a complaint was filed against Krishna Murthy by a group of
Dalits, including four Dalit women who are co-accused in the FIR against Lalu.
The Patna court dismissed the case, saying there was no prima facie case against
the chief election commissioner. <!--emo&

The FIR against Lalu Prasad had been filed Monday on the directive of the
Election Commission for allegedly bribing voters ahead of the elections. The
Election Commission asked him why his Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) should not be
de-recognised.
Bihar's ruling RJD chief had been seen on TV distributing money to some people,
which the Election Commission said was a violation of the model code of conduct
before elections in the state in February.
