People aware of the development said that while complaints against Marandi have been filed by different people at various police stations in different districts, police officials have confirmed that FIRs have been registered in at least two districts — Ranchi and Deoghar.

In Ranchi, an FIR has been registered at the Kanke police station based on a complaint by Sonu Tirkey, who has alleged that the entire tribal community has been hurt due to the objectionable language used by Marandi against Shibu Soren, officials said.

A senior Ranchi police official said, “An FIR has been registered under sections 500, 504, and 505 (2) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Further action will be taken accordingly.”
