The Patna High Court has dismissed criminal proceedings against Bihar Minister Santosh Kumar Suman, also known as Santosh Manjhi, in a 2017 case alleging rioting, road blockages and assault on a police officer during a protest in Bodh Gaya.
The Supreme Court Today (June 30) dismissed a plea asking for the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya to be handed over to Buddhists, advising the petitioner to approach the Patna High Court instead. The temple remains under Bihar government’s control.
