Case filed against Xi Jinping in India; Modi, Trump made witnesses

A case has been filed against Chinese President Xi Jinping and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s at Betia district civil court in the Indian state of Bihar.

The complaint is filed by advocate Murad Ali that alleges Xi Jinping and the WHO DG has intentionally spread the virus amongst the Indian population.

The Indian Chief Judicial Magistrate court has scheduled the hearing for June 16.

Moreover, in his complaint, Advocate Ali has made the US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi witnesses. The advocate accused the Chinese president of hiding the spread of the deadly coronavirus which has spread from China’s Wuhan city in December 2019.

This is not the first time when a case against Xi Jinping has been filed in a Bihar court accusing the Chinese president responsible for the virus. On March 16, a similar case was filed by a Muzaffarpur-based advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha against Chinese President Xi Jinping and China’s ambassador to India Sun Weidong for allegedly 'hatching a criminal conspiracy to spread coronavirus'. This came after over 110 cases of Covid-19 in India including 17 foreign nationals.

Meanwhile, 84,209 coronavirus cases had been confirmed in China by Thursday. Out of which 65 are patients who are still undergoing treatment. However, no one is in serious condition. India has so far reported 276,583 cases of Covid-19. 7,466 people have died and 129,215 people have been recovered from the virus.
