Lord Hanuman has been summoned to a court in Bihar

February 17, 2016 02:16

ANI reports that a Sub-Divisional Magistrate's court in Rohtas district of Bihar has reportedly issued summons to Lord Hanuman to appear in the court.

Though, the news agency did not elaborate, it did put out this photograph on its Twitter feed.

Just last week, Lord Hanuman had found himself at the receiving end in Bihar when civic authorities in Begusarai district issued an encroachment notice against 'Bajrang Bali,' as Lord Hanuman is referred to, for a roadside temple constructed in his honour in the Lohia Nagar area.

While issuing the notice to 'Hanuman,' a circle official ordered the temple to be demolished as it created an obstruction for vehicular traffic.

Hours later, Bajrang Dal activists and their supporters blocked roads in protest and demanded that the notice be withdrawn at once.

A trouble-wary district administration promptly dumped the circular.
