Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju has been booked on sedition charge by Patna Police after a complaint by a ruling JD(U) legislator citing his Facebook post that Kashmir should be offered to Pakistan on the condition that it takes Bihar too.

Katju has been booked under 124-A (sedition) and other sections of IPC, the state house officer (SHO) Shashtrinagar (Patna) police station Virendra Yadav said here on Wednesday.

JD(U) legislator Neeraj Kumar, who is also spokerperson of the party, lodged a complaint with Shashtrinagar police station here against Katju seeking his prosecution for alleged sedition.
