A case was registered at the Kotwali police station here on Thursday against Bihar minister Abdul Jalil Mastan for allegedly asking a crowd at a public rally to hit the photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with shoes.

The rally was organised against the Prime Minister’s demonetisation move at Mastan’s Amour assembly constituency in Purnia district, 370 km from state capital Patna, on February 22.

Bankipore (Patna) MLA Nitin Navin, who lodged the case, accused Mastan of spreading hatred and disturbing social harmony and peace. In his complaint, the BJP lawmaker also levelled sedition charges against the minister and questioned his citizenship.
