A woman hurled ink at Muzaffarpur shelter home rape accused Brajesh Thakur outside the court on Wednesday. According to a court order, Brajesh Thakur, the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual horror case prime accused, allegedly used his newspapers to browbeat officials, including those in the judiciary, by publishing fake news stories to get his work done.

In 2012, the court of Arun Kumar Singh, special vigilance judge, Muzaffarpur, had issued warning to one of his newspapers ‘Pratah Kamal’— a Hindi daily — for trying to malign/defame the court by making a select group of lawyers file false petitions with motivated allegations. The special vigilance court had then recommended action against him. HT has accessed the court order.
