AYODHYA: A district court on Tuesday directed police to register a case against Iqbal Ansari, original litigant in the Ramjanmabhoomi Babri Masjid title suit, on the complaint of an international shooter,

Vartika Singh

, who visited his house earlier this month. Singh moved district court and lodged a complaint against Ansari, accusing him of insulting and threatening her. Vartika claimed she moved court as police refused to accept her complaint.


Talking to TOI, Iqbal Ansari said he has full faith in law and court orders should be honoured. The court directive came weeks after Iqbal Ansari lodged an FIR against the shooter, accusing her of trying to attack him following an argument over Ram temple, when she called at his residence on September 3.

In her complaint before judicial magistrate (JM)

Faizabad

, Devendra Pratap Singh, Vartika Singh stated that Ansari threatened her and police refused to register a case when she approached them.

In its order, the district court cited high court and Supreme Court rulings where it states every complainant is entitled to a fair trial. The court directed Ramjanmabhoomi police station to register a case against Ansari.
