Intolerance debate: FIR against 49 celebrities withdrawn

Muzaffarpur Police on Wednesday gave a clean chit to 49 eminent personalities who had written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising concerns over the increasing incidents of mob lynching in the country earlier this year.

Muzaffarpur SSP Manoj Kumar Sinha said order has been issued by him for the closure of the case as investigation so far revealed that allegations were levelled against the accused out of "mischief" and "lacked substance"
