Bihars maverick serial litigant Sudhir Kumar Ojha on Monday lodged a complaint before a court here blaming the coronavirus pandemic on a "conspiracy" by China and seeking "trial" of its president and ambassador under the Indian Penal Code.

Ojha filed his petition naming "Shri Jinping, President of China and ambassador Sun Weidong" before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (West).

A resident of Mithanpura police station area here, he had in September last year sought slapping of a sedition case against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The local advocate, who routinely lodges complaints against political bigwigs and top Bollywood personalities few of which go beyond the admission stage- alleged in his petition that the coronavirus was the result of a "conspiracy" by China, which wanted to "terrorize the entire world".

 

The IPC sections under which Ojha seeks "trial" of the Chinese President and ambassador are 109 (abetment) 120B (criminal conspiracy), 269 (acting unlawfully or negligently so as to spread the infection of a disease) and 270 (acting malignantly to spread an infectious disease).

The matter has been posted for hearing on April 11.
